Quote - The revisions and/or additions to the Morph Brush look great! :woot: It had a somewhat slow start, but it has already turned out to be a great tool in P9/PP12. The only addition I could wish for, after those in the 2014 upgrade, would be a "restore" type feature which doesn't remove all deltas, but functions like a modified "smooth", to restore the original relationships of the mesh. More of a "topological repair" or something. :unsure: I'm never quite sure I've managed to swing the term "topology" correctly. Ahem.
I have a script which does this, awkwardly named "Restore Detail", which is on the TDMT page in my sigline links. Unfortunately my site is down again, along with its hosting server. :sad: I have found this restoration/repair/cleanup script to be tremendously valuable for repairing morphs. I wish, oh how I wish, that it (or something similar) could be in Morph Brush form. Give us a Python hook to the Morph Brush and I'll make a script which applies the function. Or, better yet, do something similar with the MB. 'Cause that would be The Best. :laugh:
Not sure if it is exactly as what you envision, but there is a restore function. In conjunction with the brush strength you can bring mesh back to its original state.
I use that in conjunction with the push, pull and smooth to restore details at the location where I want it.
One place where I use this is with a skirt if it wraps around the legs
