Is there a faster way to change brush size? (Like ZBrush's Spacebar) on PC Version

In ZBrush, you can press the Spacebar to instantly bring up a brush size slider right under your cursor, which is super fast for making adjustments on the fly.

In Nomad, I only know two ways:

  1. Dragging the slider on the left panel

  2. Tapping the [ and ] keys (slow…).

It feels a disruptive to my sculpting flow. So my question is:

Is there a hidden setting, a gesture, or a faster method to pop up a brush size adjustment right where my stylus is?

The reason I have to move the cursor all the way to the left edge to adjust the brush size and strength significantly increases hand fatigue. Also, using the [ and ] keys creates a 2-3 second delay to reach a satisfactory brush size.

The PC version is causing a major workflow problem and significant fatigue.

On tablet, I can directly manipulate the brush size and strength with my left hand. This is impossible in the PC version.

This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a fundamental limitation that severely hinders professional workflow and speed. We need a solution like an on-cursor control pop-up.

If implementing a pop-up is difficult, I would at least like the brush size and strength adjustment interface to be movable or repositionable on the screen.

This would already be a huge improvement, allowing us to place it closer to our work area to minimize mouse travel and fatigue.

Hey there, I notice that you can do a shortcut with gesture for radius (third finger horizontal drag) and intensity (third finger vertical drag). here in the picture you posted you show the radius it with stylus drag. is it also the same? meaning vertical stylus drag for radius and horizontal for intensity? thanks

Gonna answer my own question here. Obviously, you designed an awesome app! so yep, you can clone a shortcut and do X+ drag either vertical or horizontal. Gosh I love that app! :slight_smile:
