Hi Kent, hope all is well. Have you tried gravity applied to your brush strokes? If yes, what was the outcome? (I haven't tried it/not sure how to use it) Many thanks https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/sculpt_paint/sculpting/tool_settings/options.html
You might try that...the thing is, you lose some sculpting control...and fat pads might sag down due to gravity and the skin losing elasticity, it is not a simple 'pulling down'...I prefer to do it manually and get the result I expect, but, by all means: experiment and let us know how it works out for you (it is rather intuitive...just don't set the influence too strong!).
bitey That's a great question. I have not implemented the gravity function in my workflow yet. Call it a case of "can't teach an old dog new tricks" 😅
Admittedly the longer I do CG, the more comfortable I get with my tried-and-true techniques and less eager to try new tools. The gravity function sounds like it could be useful though also a bit gimmicky imo. Without having tried it, I tend to agree with Martin that it takes some control from me. But also it could work beautifully.
I strongly encourage you to try it and see what you think! Also a note to self: Try the gravity function already.
