This tool displaces the vertices along the mesh, keeping its volume pretty much intact. Lastly, we use rotate or scale and only that part will be affected with the correct pivot point location. 💡 To scale or rotate, it is advisable to move the transformation's point of origin in sculpt mode to wherever it makes sense according to your model and desired operation.įor instance, if we are about to rotate a character's head, we can apply a mask to the whole model ( Mask menu > Fill Mask), and use the Move tool in sculpt mode to move the pivot point to the base of the neck, and then remove the mask from the head only. By using masks, you can transform specific parts of the mesh or multiple meshes of the model. Now you can perform transform operations on the mesh, such as move, rotate or scale, without leaving sculpt mode. Sculpt mode in Blender 3D - Mesh Filter tool Transform tools in Sculpt mode In this example I applied a Random and then a Smooth filter to achieve a cotton or wool effect in just one area of the mesh, by pre-selecting it with a mask. You can apply them to the whole model or parts of the mesh, by just clicking and dragging on the viewport. This tool applies Smooth, Scale, Inflate, Sphere, Random and Relax filters to the mesh. If you've never used sculpting in Blender before, remember to previously subdivide the model (with a Subdivision Surface or Multiresolution modifier), or enable Dyntopo in Sculpt mode, so either the 3D mesh has enough geometry to work with beforehand, or the necessary geometry is generated while you sculpt. Sculpt mode in Blender 3D - Multilane scrape toolĪlso, it adapts to surfaces dynamically, so you are able to scrape borders of adjacent concavities and convexities with a single stroke. In the Brush Settings panel you can set the angle, and enable a real-time graphic representation of the active angle while you sculpt (Show Cursor Preview). It's quite versatile and could be an alternative option to other tools, such as Crease, if you'd rather avoid pinching the surrounding geometry too much when defining folds, corners or borders. Blender already has a Scraper knife, but Multiplane works like a V-shape angled chisel in traditional sculpture, with the digital advantage of adapting to any angle.
This new tool basically sharpens edges between adjacent planes. These are the new sculpting features and tools I tried out when creating this 3D character model in Blender: Some tools have been tweaked and others have been added for specific purposes, including transform operations, as well as mask extractions and remeshing, which can now be performed without leaving sculpt mode.Īlthough the tools we already had in Blender were enough to achieve a wide range of sculpting results, it is not a bad idea to explore the new options and hopefully discover additional methods and innovative techniques to sculpt more naturally with less technical adjustments. Over the last year, Blender's sculpt mode has undergone a major revamp with the addition of new tools and funcionalities, which make working on certain types of 3D models easier.
