Some Particle Brush not working

In my current project some of the particle brushes are not working, like Leaks, Liquid Stream, Splat. Brushes like Laser Impact or Rain work fine.

When I open the same geometry in a new project all brushes function as they should.

I have tried to reload the geometry, baked all the mesh-maps again and even deleted all layers, but the problem persists. So now I am at the end of my wisdom - has anyone an idea how to solve this?

many thanks!

Correct answer davescm

Have you tried resetting the brush emitter and receiver settings (Restore defaults on both)

 

Also - can you confirm you are in Perspective view and not Orthographic view

hi Dave - that did it - I was in orthographic view (didn't know that these brushes only work in perspective view...)!

What is strange that I cannot swap between the view modes with the little icons in the viewport top/right - they are greyed-out. It only works with F5 & F6...

 

However - this solved my problem - many thanks!
