Man this software is an Industry standard, yet why haven't you guys update the UI to be more user friendly? this convoluted mess always scares potential customer away, other software have a one tap delete selected button, why does this one don't? I'm scracthing my head here, because even a free software like blender understands that this is an issue and update their UI in the 2.8 update, please tell me why? because I can't sleep without an answer.

too big to fail mindset

[@kurikuraconkuritas]

just adapt dude.

[@spacekitt.n]

blender is awesome and only gets better every year. 4.2 is even better on the sculpting side

[@spacekitt.n]

@@kurikuraconkuritas asking customers to adapt instead of the other way around is weak af. just update your UI. legacy users can have a legacy option but no one likes this sh%t

[@sadoand]

why can't this interface be user friendly...it is the bane of my existence xD

[@shamaraaraujo3204]

right? XD

[@GA-uv4hy]

cause low IQ devs

[@spacekitt.n]

@@shamaraaraujo3204 the UI is in need of serious modernizing. its ridiculous. old users who like it should be given a legacy UI option, but for everyone else why not make it like every other program on the face of the earth. its like learning a whole different language its not necessary

in blender , select polys , x= delete done.
in zbrush , mask polys, ctrl w = polygroup from masked, then ctrl ,alt, shift=hide selection, then , geometry in list, modify topology list , then "HALLELUJAH" del hidden ...................im going to copy and paste what ive just typed as a reminder for this convoluted nonsense. fyi im gettting realy good with zbrush these days , im navigating around like i was driving a car for years, but make no mistake , when blender creators develop somthing to eqaul zbrush "subtools" maybe a bare bones version of blender , we,ll name as " blendsculpt" possibly a new instance of blender for every" subtool/obj" but sharing the same screen space , its a good start 3 to 4 million verts per instance/ obj and as many istances as you like . ....when this day happens i will happily drop zbrush like a stone.

[@musashidanmcgrath]

With a simple macro it's just mask>hotkey to delete masked. Easy. Meanwhile in Blender you hit X and a list of a dozen things pops up. :D Nothing weirder for a user coming from Max or Maya when deleting verts/edges/faces needs its own tutorial so you know why edges and verts are randomly floating around in space.

[@bysweet1510]

thank you so much! I was confused how to do that for long time

[@SuperComicAnimation]

Thank you this helped me today.

[@lego1168]

So clicking with CTRL does not switch the mask to the unmasked.

[@thaibui5911]

Is there any way to adjust the light color for polygon generation? I usually see the color on my computer. Thank you

[@bydlaczek1000]

Thanks for the explanation

[@lego1168]

How can we fill the hole left over?

[@keterbinah3091]

that is a good question

[@iiandreio4228]

Thank you!

[@heitorhiguchi1430]
