reset texture paint brushes? I have looked online in other places, but I can't find any results relating to this. I have installed a new version of blender and loaded my file without the keep ui checked, but no luck.
So, I will be working on a file for a while, and one of my texture paint brushes will turn into a regular texture paint brush. (In this case, my smear brush) and I have no way of resetting it or changing the settings to get my smear brush back.
The brush settings are loaded even if the Load UI option is disabled. The brush type can be adjusted in the brush menu, so if you have deleted the brush you can create a new brush and set it to smear.



You can import brushes from another file so to restore the default brushes without changing any of your other settings, choose File->Load Factory Settings, then save the blend file somewhere, then create a new file to get your normal settings back and import the brushes from the factory file you just saved and re-save your startup file.
