Pinceles

This is a list of all provided “Essentials” brush assets that come with Blender. These are based on various Brush Types which are mentioned for each brush..

Similar as Thumb but dynamically picks up vertices like the Snake Hook. Useful for nudging something along the mesh surface.

Torsionar

Tipo de pincel: Rotar

Rotates vertices within the brush in the direction mouse.

Relax Slide [Distender y deslizar]

Tipo de pincel: Relax Slide [Distender y deslizar]
