Hi Stephane! I think it would be great to have something like a FFD Deformer (Free Form Deformer) for objects. I mean a simple box with control grid to deform a mesh! I’m not a coder, but I guess this world be (relatively) easy to do (don’t beat me if I’m wrong 😁) and it would provide way more control over the shapes and would be a step toward modelling… And another wishes: Please move the intensity of paint downward close to the colorwheel! Cause one has to scroll up and down to reach. And last but not least: A (permanent) quick button below to clear/invert mask. Greets Marco ---

About masking, get used to shortcuts! There is a big update coming, but already now you can use zBrush like gestures for all four features. Hold mask button & tap on canvas to invert Hold mask button and stroke on empty canvas to clear…and so on. Check manual. ---

> [@Nomad web demo](https://forum.nomadsculpt.com/t/nomad-web-demo/617/20): > > Yes it is so much better. But you need a bit of practice to learn all masking features. If you press mask shortcut and hold finger on canvas, it will switch to SelMask and stays there till you long press again. Means once in lasso mode, you stay in lasso mode, even when you leave masking and go back later. Blur and sharpen are working just by tap on masked area for blur and unmasked for sharpen. No need to hold mask shortcut for this. SelMask clears mask as well when masking in empty space wit… Check out the Webdemo. Better to use fingers only, there are some issues with pencil and fingers for those shortcuts in web browser.
