Not having a pressure-sensitive tablet, I am constantly having to adjust brush size and weight whilst painting deformation – massive slowdown. It would be so easy if there were a script which used the cursor keys to change both parameters (but only when using Push/Pull, Relax or Restore). Alternatively, something like Blender, where it can be done with the mouse on-screen whilst shortcut keys are pressed. Can’t find anything searching the archives, and haven’t a clue how to solve it. Much appreciate any help.
Hi John, thePainterInterface, which paint deformation tools are based on, provides built in shortcuts to adjust size and pressure strength on the fly. On the viewport:
ctrl + shift + left mouse button drag up/down: increase/decrease gizmo size
alt + shift + left mouse button drag up/down: increase/decrease pressure strength

Enrico, you wonderful man
I had little expectation of a useful reply, in view of past archives on this topic. However, not only did you reply within a few minutes with a complete answer, you also gave me a link to the most amazing collection of free Max tools, most of which should work on my version of Max (9, that is).
I am much in your debt – thanks, Enrico.
Kind regards
John
