OS: Windows 7 64
Maya Edition: 2012 Hotfix 4 x64

Known issues:

Color feedback drops in and out. Yes I have the box checked in the settings. Sometimes it slightly works and most times it simply does nothing. Half the time I don’t get color feed back and when I try to move the handle or scale, it doesn’t affect the polygonal mesh at all. It’s driving me crazy and I really don’t want to do my facial blendshapes by hand!

I have also tried deleting my preferences, and it didn’t work either.I have also tried resetting the tool. No go. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello mate.

This may or may not work, but I had a similar problem once and it had to do with my scale of objects.

I was getting no feedback at all and the cranked my strength all the way down to point size and all started working well, also due to scale you may have to crank the living hell out of it to start getting results, but for me when I soft selected, my whole object moved with no feedback of colour, as it was soft selecting the full object.

Try cranking it all the way down to point sizes and lets see if this works.
With the info you have given us perhaps its something as small as this.

Be sure to submit a CER on this… the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
