## Agenda

### Brush Assets Discussion

We'll present the current conclusions from [recent conversations at the Blender HQ](https://developer.blender.org/T100122).
Questions can be clarrified but further discussion should be done another time, or after the meeting.

- Different brushes use different Shift Smooth algorythm
- Current behaviour is using the brush called "Smooth"
- Depending on the brush Shift does something different. Usually hard coded.
- Ctrl is also inconsitently changing brush behaviour
- For Shift and Ctrl modifier keys we could define a specific brush to be used instead
- Goals:
- First goal would be to improve smooth on sculpt and paint brushes (More consistent. Not pointing at other brushes)
- Afterwards we could add minimal customisation options
- With Nodes we could add way more customisation long term
