The Brush tool works in all three modes (point, edge and polygon). When the Brush tool is selected,
you’ll see a yellow sphere appear in the view. All of the object points that are inside this sphere will
be affected by the tool.
In most of the brush modes, the object point closest to the sphere’s center will be highlighted yellow.
The yellow point will act as the center point of the brush effect.
From left to right: the original mesh, Repel brush mode, Smooth brush mode, Twister brush mode.
The Brush tool gives you exciting new ways to model interactively. For example, you can use it to shape
tentacles or other growths. The possibilities are endless!
Keep in mind that the Brush tool can only work with existing points — the objects must be sufciently
subdivided for the effect that you want to paint.
Using the Brush tool
The Brush tool works in much the same way as a real brush: the more you paint over an area by
dragging, the greater the effect. To invert the effect of the brush, hold down Ctrl while you drag.
