Emulate Pen Pressure on Mouse.
Hello everyone. We love about the recent blender's update on sculpting and make my self think after a person asked about how hard sculpting with a mouse. It will not be effective as using a pen tablet. Even on ZBrush it still totally slow.
So, how about this feature just like the title says. We can have 3 main shortcuts about pen pressure control. For example, when we hold the "1" button it will decrease the pressure, and "3" to increase. The pressure change can be set by incremental & speed setting.
There will be a dynamic pressure mode. This mode will need us to set the default pressure. After it set, for example, zero value (the lowest or we can use actual today pen tablet pressure value), every time we start to sculpt the pressure will stay 0 until we increase it by hold the "3" button and when we release the key, the pressure will automatically fall down based on the speed setting. We can add reverse button, so it will be start on high pressure and we decrease the pressure along the sculpt. Then, the "2" button comes in to hold the current pressure or we can toggle it.
Next, we have Dynamic Strength and Dynamic Size toggle button just like Photoshop's brush setting. Perhaps this can be applied to texture as well?
What do you think guys?

No. Just No.
But nonetheless it could be useful to have more control over pressure input like photoshop does.
* @Pawel Piotrowski * Yes, this is a good suggestion, but kind of unrelated to the original post. I would encourage you to make you're own separate post so we can vote on it
I'll second the opinion that if you want full painting experience just use tablet. Don't bother with half measures using mouse for dedicated painting/sculpting.
You can't just use tablet if you don't own one or can't afford one. Elitist behavior tbh. Mouse users should be able to get at least a half measure.
Tbh, I don't think it would be much of an improvement over say, just using the brush / strength hotkeys to do the same thing, and it wouldn't even come close to being as good as an actual tablet. You can get cheap tablets for only about $30-40 anyways that work pretty well if you really needed it.
