Hi Seb i believe your looking for the M3dView API command and also look
at Ray casting using one of the Intersect commands to get the Start
position in 3d Space eg MfnMesh.intersect(). you can get direction from
the M3dview. then you have to look at the whole tool Context thing..but
mel Paint tools context is probably a lot easier.
i guess though using the standard Movie tool and SoftSelection or "b" is
really what your trying to achive but it be nice to have just in the
paint tools.

Yes it is possible, I created one. I used a Qt event filter installed
on the viewport in order to get a mouse move callback so I could draw
the brush whenever the mouse moves. Then you need to keep track of
mouse deltas and such and calculate the proper vertex offsets in
screen space projected into world space.

Hello,
it always bugged me that there is no move brush in the Sculpt
Geometry tool.
Looking into it though, making a custom one doesn't look too
trivial though. :/
Is it even possible? It would be hard to get the direction of the
move I suppose..
Has anybody tried?
Seb
