Hiya,

I asked over at the DAZ forums but I guess either the questions were not questions easily answered or folks are not feeling very helpful. So here I am.

Questions about using the Displacement tools:

1) How does one add new brushes to the choices available?? Hexagon can do it and so I figured Carrara 6 Pro should be able to but I don't see any way.

2) What are the purposes of the Selection tools in the Displacement area?? I see Loop, Ring, Btw?, Inv. - and + Are these related to working with the displacement brushes because when I click on one and continue I don't see any difference! When I click on the Inv though the program thinks and then all the other selections become grayed out. So it's got some function that I don't understand and it seems to do affect all the other options in that area. Help me understand this please!

3) Selecting the various Alpha Masks really doesn't seem to make much of a difference unless I need to have sub division upped or something.

4) Is there a way to hide areas that I don't want affected by the brushes?? Seems that even if I have one area selected they all get affected as I brush over them. Not what I want!!

5) I have just two areas on this clothing item I working on. One is the main robe and the other is the trim. I keep selecting the main robe area in the Global tab but when I come back to it the Trim has been selected again. Seems odd behavior!! Any reason why this is happening??

Thanks so much for your help!
