Stamps work with the sculpting tools, masking the tip of a tool with an image that lets you apply interesting sculpted detail and features to a model.
Black values in the stamp image act as opaque regions that fully protect the model. White values in the image act as transparent regions that allow the tool characteristics to affect the model. Areas outside the stamp image are regarded as black and remain unaffected.
Stamps are especially useful for sculpting repeated features such as scales, shoe lacing, stitching, screw heads, or random textured effects that would otherwise be difficult to achieve.
You can apply stamps when sculpting in two ways:
- A repeating stamp image. See Sculpt using a repeating stamp image.
- A single instance of the stamp image. See Sculpt a single stamp using the Imprint tool.
Note: A model must be subdivided to an appropriate level for the stamp detail to be visible.
