Other 3D Paint Tool operations

Reset brushes

You can reset brushes to their default profiles and settings by clicking Reset Brushes. The default brushes will now be used the next time you select these operations.

Undo brush strokes

You can undo as many strokes as defined in the Undo category of the Preferences window.

Erase paint

You can erase the strokes you paint by painting over them with the Erase brush. When you erase, you remove the color from the painted pixels, revealing the last saved texture.

To set the background texture to erase to, turn off Update on Stroke and click Save Textures. Flooding with the operation set to Erase restores the texture to its last saved version. You cannot erase when Update on Stroke is turned on, since the texture is constantly saved.

Set an image to erase back to

In the Tool Settings for the 3D Paint Tool, you can use the Set Erase Image button to set the current paint layer as the one to erase back to.

Example of using Set Erase Image

1. Paint a base layer, such as a layer of dirt.
2. Click the Set Erase Image button.
3. Flood the layer with a color, such as grey.
4. Erase patches and the dirt layer shows through.
