Einführung

Curves Sculpt Mode allows working with curves using various brushes. It is commonly used for hair grooming, but can be used with all kinds of curves.

The curves‘ surface object plays an important role in many curves sculpting brushes. Most brushes such as Add Curves require the surface to be set already.

Bemerkung

Curves Sculpt tools only use the original mesh of the surface object and don’t take its modifiers into account.

Curves Menu

Snap to Deformed Surface

Re-attach curves to a deformed surface using the existing attachment information. This only works when the topology of the surface mesh has not changed.

Snap to Nearest Surface

Find the closest point on the surface for the root point of every curve and move the root there. This needs to be run after the surface mesh topology changed

Convert to Particle System

Add a new hair particle system, or update an system on the surface object. The operator is used for backwards compatibility with the old hair type particle system.
