smooth+shift error

[elfufu]

Im having an issue with my zbrush, holding down Shift while painting is not making my model smooth, instead it looks more like its adding noise to it, or a mask by cavity effect, however there is no masks on , no alphas, nothing fancy

I have tried resetting all brushes and still nothing.
any help would be appreciated

this is similar to this http://www.pixolator.com/showthread.php?t=50529&highlight=shift+smooth+noise

I am trying this on both zadd and zsub

hold the shift button, go to select your brush while holding the shift button and select the smooth brush. when you press shift again to smooth you woulnt get that noise effect.

you have another brush set when you press shift so you just need to switch it back by holding shift and selecting your desired brush…

if im wrong someone please correct me and help this fellow out
