Operation
- Hotkey: Pressing Shift toggles between Paint and Smooth. Sets how the brush applies freezing to the hair CVs in its radius.

Paint
- Applies freezing as you drag across the hairs. This is the default setting.
- Smooth
- Applies a smoothing effect to the freeze values. It does not affect the position or orientation of the hairs or CVs.
Use this option if you want the freeze effect to transition evenly between the CVs in areas you have already frozen by painting.
