Flatten tool

[GeoffKornfeld]

It would be good if you had a tool that was a flat, circular plane and whatever it presses against becomes flattened to it. This would mostly be used for making the feet of a standing character truly flat, but if the user has the ability to rotate it and size it, I can see lots of other applications for it. And it should have a falloff amount for its effect as well.

Hey,

I think what you are looking for is already in Mudbox. You can use the flatten or scrape tool and set the direction to Y-axis for instance, you can set the Update Planet attribute to off and that should achieve the desired effect.

What I'm describing would be much more precise than this. And you could easily do things like make all four of an animal's feet perfectly level with each other, on the ground plane. I know that's not impossible with the flatten tool. But it isn't easy either.
