ChronoSculpt™ v1.0
Tools Menu Group
The tools in this group all have Radius , Strength and Hardness settings that can be changed using
the HUD . The right mouse button can be used to change the Radius on the fly . Ctrl will do the
opposite of the normal left mouse button action and Shift will smooth (where appropriate) .
Sculpt
This is probably the tool you’ll use most . Its equivalent in ZBrush is the Brush tool .
Drag
Like the Dragnet tool in LightWave this tool creates a smooth falloff to the vertices affected by the
drag operation . In ChronoSculpt you will notice that the manipulation of massive geometry files is
a breeze .
Pinch
This tool brings geometry together . You can expand the geometry using the Ctrl key modifier .
Bulge
Expands or contracts geometry with a falloff . Clicking on the gizmo moves the zone of influence
which is represented by the orange sphere, clicking elsewhere performs the operation . This can
create some very interesting inflate and compress effects on objects .
Bulge creates a Morph unless used in Setup or Global Editing Mode .
Erase
This uses a brush interface to erase back to the base object by removing deformations and
animation applied by cache files .
Pin
Pins a separate geometry part where it is . For example if you have a jitter on a group of dominoes
after they fall to the ground due to the simulation having calculation errors you can use
Pin to lock
