Brush Types¶
See Brush Type.
Available brush types are listed here, together with links to the Essentials library brushes using them.
Add/Subtract Brushes¶
![../../../_images/sculpt-paint_sculpting_brushes_overview-add-substract.png](../../../_images/sculpt-paint_sculpting_brushes_overview-add-substract.png)
These brush types generally push vertices outwards and inwards.
- Рисування – Draw
Brushes: Рисування – Draw
The standard brush for pushing vertices inwards and outwards from the surface direction.
- Гостре Рисування – Draw Sharp
Brushes: Гостре Рисування – Draw Sharp
Same as Draw but with a much sharper Falloff. Useful for creating creases and sharp angles.
- Глина – Clay
Brushes: Глина – Clay
Similar to the Draw brush but with a flattening effect and subtle smoothing. Useful for polishing and building volumes.
- Смужки Глини – Clay Strips
Brushes: Смужки Глини – Clay Strips
The same as the Clay brush, but more aggressive with a square falloff. A common standard for building rough volumes.
- Layer – Шар
Brushes: Layer – Шар
Draw with a fixed height. Useful for adding flat layers to a surface.
- Надуття – Inflate
Brushes: Inflate/Deflate
Moves the mesh in multiple direction. Useful for inflating or shrinking surfaces and volumes.
- Кулька – Blob
Brushes: Кулька – Blob
Magnifies the mesh as you draw. Useful for an additional inflation effect on the stroke.
- Crease – Складка
Brushes: Crease – Складка
Same as Blob but with a pinching effect. Useful for creating and polishing sharp creases.
Contrast Brushes¶
![../../../_images/sculpt-paint_sculpting_brushes_overview-contrast.png](../../../_images/sculpt-paint_sculpting_brushes_overview-contrast.png)
Recognizable by their red icon and cursor. These brushes generally flatten or heighten the contrast of the surface.
- Smooth – Згладження
Brushes: Smooth – Згладження
Smooths out irregularities in the surface and shrinks volumes by averaging the vertices positions. An essential brush that is frequently used.
- Flatten – Сплощення
Brushes: Flatten/Contrast
Pushes vertices to an average height to create a flat plateau.
- Fill – Заповнення
Brushes: Fill – Заповнення
Pushes surfaces outwards. Useful for filling in holes and crevices.
- Шкрябання – Scrape
Brushes: Scrape/Fill
Pushes surfaces inwards. This is the most common brush for flattening meshes.
- Multi-plane Scrape
Brushes: Scrape Multiplane
Scrapes the mesh with two angled planes at the same time, producing a sharp edge between them.
Transform Brushes¶
![../../../_images/sculpt-paint_sculpting_brushes_overview-transform.png](../../../_images/sculpt-paint_sculpting_brushes_overview-transform.png)
Recognizable by their yellow icon and cursor. These brushes generally move, pinch and magnify the mesh.
- Pinch – Прищемлення
Brushes: Pinch/Magnify
Pulls vertices towards the center of the brush. Useful for polishing angles and creases.
- Grab – Захоп
Brushes: Grab – Захоп
Moves vertices along with the mouse. An essential brush for building shapes and adjusting proportions.
- Еластична Деформа – Elastic Deform
Brushes: Еластична Деформа – Elastic Deform
Used to simulate realistic deformations such as grabbing or twisting of Elastic objects.
- Зміїний Гак – Snake Hook
Brushes: Зміїний Гак – Snake Hook
Pulls vertices along with the stroke to create long, snake-like forms.
- Палюх – Thumb
Brushes: Палюх – Thumb
Same as Grab but moves vertices along the surface direction. Useful for preserving specific surfaces.
- Pose – Поза
Brushes: Pose – Поза
Simulating an armature-like deformations. Useful for quick posing and transformations.
- Підштовх – Nudge
Brushes: Підштовх – Nudge
Similar as Thumb but dynamically picks up vertices like the Snake Hook. Useful for nudging something along the mesh surface.
- Rotate – Оберт
Brushes: Twist – Кручення
Rotates vertices within the brush in the direction mouse.
- Розслаблення Ковзанням – Slide Relax
Brushes: Relax Slide
Slides the topology of the mesh in the direction of the stroke while preserving the geometrical shape of the mesh. Also useful for redistributing topology where it is needed.
- Boundary – Рубіж
Brushes: Boundary – Рубіж
Transform mesh boundaries specifically with various deformations.
Utility Brushes¶
![../../../_images/sculpt-paint_sculpting_brushes_overview-utilities.png](../../../_images/sculpt-paint_sculpting_brushes_overview-utilities.png)
No clear color assignment. These brushes are general purpose brushes or specific.
- Тканина
Brushes: Тканина
Simulates cloth to create folds and draping, which can be sculpted further.
- Simplify – Спрощення
Brushes: Щільність – Density
Cleans up geometry by collapsing short edges.
- Mask – Маска
Brushes: Mask – Маска
Paints a selection on parts of the mesh to be unaffected by other brushes.
- Draw Face Sets
Brushes: Draw Face Sets
Paint new or extend existing face sets.
- Multires Displacement Eraser
Brushes: Erase Multires Displacement
Remove displacement information on a Multiresolution modifier.
- Multires Displacement Smear
Brushes: Smear Multires Displacement
Smear displacement information on a Multiresolution modifier.
Painting Brushes¶
![../../../_images/sculpt-paint_sculpting_brushes_overview-paint.png](../../../_images/sculpt-paint_sculpting_brushes_overview-paint.png)
Recognizable by their green icon. These brushes are used for painting color attributes within sculpt mode.
- Paint – Малювання
Brushes: Paint – Малювання
Paint on the vertices of your mesh via color attributes.
- Розмазання – Smear
Brushes: Розмазання – Smear
Smears the vertex colors via color attributes.
