I thought Blender's Pinch already worked this way, but it looks like how Pinch in ZBrush works, so my vote goes to having this behaviour as a default.

@Pablo Dobarro (pablodp606) My opinion: Hell yes! Make this the default. Not sure if it's worth keeping the old way as an option ... Possibly yes.

I'm not sure I understand what my eyes should see in those two videos. What's the difference?

Previous method I think is simply worse. IMO no reason to keep both methods - at some point it becomes unwieldy if we present too many options, and it adds overhead, maintanence etc. If we are simply improving something, it's not necessary to always add it as an option. We should have the guts to just improve stuff. :)

@Jeroen Bakker (jbakker) This patch and D6591 are identical, so we can just review one of them and I'll update the other one with the same changes.

Ok I tested it a bit and my only worry was that it would be harder to pinch a point instead of a line but that is still possible when circling the stroke a bit.

Maybe, old behavior could be kept for Stroke Method relative to a point : Dots, Drag Dot and Anchored.
Nothing to add to UI. Just a behavior automatically adapted to method used.

I requested this some time ago on twitter, and I am very happy that you worked on it Pablo. I think this is a great improvement. However, previous behaviour is desirable in some cases, and should be kept of course.

Hello,

No problem if it becomes the default setting but i want to switch back to the previous behavior of pinch brush.
How do i do?
I've been sculpting for years with Blender.
I prefer the good old pinch brush.
Never heard people complaining about it.
I just played with the lock axis to get the same result.
For me, the new brush is too similar with the crease brush.
The old Pinch brush was excellent to correct scale/proportion problems.

Thanks.
