Using the smooth brush makes surface of model look rough

[Pietro Costa]

Hey Kent!

Absolutely love the course so far. I’ve been following along for quite some time and I am a bit stuck at the moment. My smooth brush seems to be doing the opposite of what it is supposed to do (already checked to see if I
clicked the “-” by mistake, and I am not holding down control). It doesn’t do this in certain parts of the model either. 
Here are some screenshots of what it looks like:

If you have the time, please let me know how I can go about fixing this issue.

Thank you !

I’m thinking your dyntopo method is set to collapse instead of subdivide. Also try lowering your detail size so you have more resolution. Perhaps in the other parts of the model your details is on par of what you have on the settings and that is why is not collapsing it.

Omar is correct with the Dyntopo settings, also from your gif above and screen shots, I can see Dyntopo is disabled at some point.

Omar and Adrian make great suggestions. I’ve also seen similar artifacts if:

• My brush has one or more axes locked for sculpting
• My brush has a texture
