Blender Secrets - Adding Sculpted Details to Curved Parts with the Mask brush

Previously we’ve explored using Alpha textures to sculpt details, and how to make such textures yourself. But what if you want to add intricate details to a curved or even cylindrical surface where you can’t use a texture stencil? This is where masking is very useful.

not sure if this feature was available when this video was made, but for people watching this video now: I would suggest using the mesh filter brush and set it to inflate to inflate the unmasked areas. Then you can raise the unmasked areas evenly and faster. You can then also smooth with the mesh filter set to smooth.

Definitely one of the most inventive methods I've seen. Really cool. Thank you.

Like 70% of my progress in blender is thanks to this channel.

A beautifully succinct channel which leaves me in awe of both Blender and the folks who really know how to make it jump, unlike us mortals who only use it on a daily basis 😄😄👍

Everything this channel shows is so inspiring. I always want to drop what I'm doing and give it a go!

Very cool method. Especially for carvings like art, embossing. Never though of that before. Thanks!

Please make a longer video discussing the different techniques of “when to use and why”.
A more comprehensive video if you will.

Can you also make a tutorial on how you did the sword handle texture? the scuplted details arent dirty but the rest of the metal is! love your work

Well there is a better option than using the inflate brush which is using Mesh Filter set to Inflate :D
This way you inflate everything at once in the same proportion, then there is also a Sharpen mode also to the Mesh Filter which can be used to sharpen the edges.

Blender has definitely also become a really good sculpting software now.
