Overview
This addon provides a convenient interface to create, manage and edit layers of 3D brushstrokes that are generated procedurally with an elaborate Geometry Nodes system.
There are two types of Brushstroke Layers:
Fill
Flood a mesh surface with brushstrokes and control them with a wide set of parameters in the ‘Shape’ panel of the addon interface. This type of brushstroke layer can be guided by drawing curves for the flow direction or marking parts of the mesh to define flow/break edges and faces to be ignored using the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+F.
Draw
Draw brushstrokes as curve geometry directly on a surface mesh. There are settings in the toolbar as you draw to control, for example, the color. On top of that you can apply additional procedural effects in the ‘Shape’ panel of the addon interface.
Material
The material of a brushstroke layer can also be controlled using the addon interface. Material settings are split into
Properties (Base PBR setup to control material quality)
Brush Style (Selection and control of the base texture from real-life scans)
Effects (Additional masking effects to adjust the texture)
