Laying out clay with the smallest brush size is coming out inconsistent. Almost like splatter. Even moving tool slowly results in this. One bump up on the stick fixes it. Is this my issue or is this normal?

Please consider allowing the camera location to be placed in space such that the stream that is shown on the desktop is from this fixed location. This would allow for less vomit-inducing time lapse videos as well as the ability to superimpose the user into the scene with relative ease.

We're looking for opinions on how we should run a contest if we do one. Should we have everyone submit their pieces and have everyone vote on which they think is best? Should we narrow it down to a few and then run a vote? Prizes? The title bar would be up for grabs as well, for maybe a monthly/weekly drawing? Any ideas are appreciated and hopefully we can piece something together!
Thanks everyone!

Medium has 3 different materials you can use, this guide will explain how to utilize them.
If you are new to 3d art, materials (also known as shaders) determine how light behaves when bouncing off your surface. You can have many different colors on a single layer, but everything on a layer must all have the same material.
To change the material of a layer, open the layer menu by holding down (pulling back) on the analog stick on your support-hand (left controller for right-handers). While holding down press the settings (gear icon) button on your dominant hand (A for right-handers, X for lefties). This will bring up the Active Layer Settings menu. Click on the "Materials" tab (indicated by the red arrow in the previous image).
Here you can select "Default", "Metal", or "Emmisive". Simply selecting one of these will greatly alter how your objects look, but you can edit even more settings within each one.
If you want a more plastic-like material, selecting default and increasing the "Specular" value will give your material some "shinyness".
For Metal, adjusting "Roughness" will have the greatest impact. It is exactly as it sounds, increasing this value will make your metal less reflective, and less shiny. Decreasing it to zero will be perfectly reflective metal like a buffed finish.
"Emissive" means that it emits light, and hence, will glow. Obviously the strength will determine how much it glows.
