Drawing straight lines in Mudbox/Z-Brush?
Sometimes I am having a hard time to draw straight lines with my wacom in Mudbox and I was wondering if there was an option to do this with a guideline(kind of like holding shift in photoshop).

Mudbox 1 have curves... If they didnt change the menus in the beta of new Mud, here is how to do it. 1:Go to Curves > Create new curve. Draw your curve (a straight line in this case).

Mudbox has guideline drawing, I think. That might just be the new version, Mudbox2009, though... I think I saw it in a demo video? In Zbrush you could turn on Lazy Mouse, it "averages" your stroke, makes it much smoother, you can tweak the settings to really smooth it out. -
Re: Drawing straight lines in Mudbox/Z-Brush?
Mudbox 2009 has a slightly superior version of lazymouse called steady stroke. You specify a length and then begin your stroke. The 'real' stroke doesn't actually start to draw anything until your mouse pointer has reached the length that you specified, then it starts to do the lazymouse thing. It's based on something…
