Found a bug in max 2010
Found a bug in max 2010 x64.
Although all scale values and brush settings are all set equal to 1.0, some objects are scaled or stretched. This occurs both on flat and round surfaces, like a geoSphere...
It seems related to the base-object normals, like as I were drawn between two normals and
the object needs to interpolate size, or something..
BTW,Is there any way to set SNAP mode ON with this tool? I can't get it work with SNAP...
Apart form that, it's a must-have tool in videogame development when you need to place your assets in the level design...
