Hello guys Forgive me If have been storming blender forums with some posts recently regarding this topic. The new update of blender 2.81’s sculpt brush is good but the only thing that is bothering me when using it is the small point that is following the sculpt brush cursor. I am not asking for its removal instead I would like to ask for it to be an optional feature.

There are some things that and sometimes although they are small they cause a lot of difficulties in your work. The point can be useful in some cases where you want to monitor where your brush is going but having it in your face all the time makes you feel dizzy and sometimes it can be fatiguing. Not to mention that the color used in the main brush is red.
It is like a double whammy and highly noticeable/sticks out like laser.

I have heard form different blender users where they are fine with it which is good but not all users are the same. What caught my attention was the moment he stated that he likes looking at the point while sculpting somehow made my point. As a result this makes you focus more on the technical side of things more than how you could sculpt more organically like your molding and observing your sculpt at the same time but with the point present it is highly difficult to do that you have to fools yourself that it is not there.

Again this is not an opposition to the feature but a request to have an option to disable it when not needed.

Problem:

  • Highly noticeable that it can be distracting when organically sculpting
  • Sometimes dizzying

Solution:
An option toggle to disable or enable it.

A better solution was proposed by devtalk user @TheRedWaxPolice below the comments. :white_check_mark:
