Visual Tools

# Use tool: These tools change settings on Painting and Sculpt objects. The Use Tool controls will use a tool to change the associated settings.

When hovering over a group, any paintings and sculpts inside the group will be affected. When hovering over a selected object, all selected objects will be affected. (Tg)

Some tools can change the inner properties of a sculpt by holding shift while using the tool.

# Add, Subtract

This context menu button toggles between adding and subtracting the effect of the tool. When subtracting, changes the settings of objects to the object’s initial settings to reveal the inherent visual style.

For example, subtracting tint will reveal a sculpt’s spraypainted surface.

Use the Add/Subtract control to toggle between modes.

# Volume Brush

Some tools can use a volume brush to affect objects that are at least partially inside a box at the end of the imp. Some tools will change the settings of individual flecks inside the box instead of the painting object they are part of.

To activate the volume brush, click the context menu button.

Use the Scale controls to change the size of the volume brush. If the volume brush is off and its size is increased, it will turn on. If the volume brush is on and and its size is decreased to 0, it will turn off.
