Found out some things when trying to weld in Zbrush and thought I'd share my findings.

Thanks for sharing!

I think it might help to study welding a bit more, good welds vs. bad welds. Unless you're intentionally trying to emulate a certain look? What's your welding reference?

It looks a bit to blobby to me, so I did a quick web search of "good weld bad weld" and found some examples that might help:

Thanks for the references, Eric! One can definitely work on the welds more but I was mainly just forced on getting a good base. The brushes a lot of people use won't work too well in certain situations eg. grooves, crevices, edges, etc.
