Different strength for mask brush for X symmetry

[zagricolova]

Hi, I have a strange issue with the strength of the mask brush is not the same on the other side of the shark. I am trying to make the bottom fins. The side where I am painting looks fine and the other side is barely visible. I have the strength set to 1. Is there some setting specifically for the symmetry of the mask brush?

Symmetry works for the Mask Brush perfectly.

It uses the Origin of the Mesh you are sculpting on, so if that Origin is not in the center of your object, then it is possible that your mirrored brush is painting ‘outside’ of the mesh…

Don’t know what else it could be.

My shark was slightly rotated, I must have turned it a bit by mistake, so yes I was painting outside of the mesh on one side 🙂 Thanks!

Yes of course! Why didn’t I think of that?

Same principle, but much more likely to happen by accident!

Glad you’ve figured it out and thanks for letting us know!
