Attributes Brush

The Attributes Brush allows users to paint Attributes and Primvars of selected meshes.

Using the Attributes Brush

Once the Attributes Brush has been selected from the Paint Library it can be used to paint any Float, Float2, Float3 or Float4 Attribute or Primvar.

Note

Meshes need to be selected in the viewport in order to paint on them!

Parameters

Option	Result
Size	The radius of the brush in centimeters.
Strength	The strength of the brush.
Stamp Interval	Used when dragging the brush, controls the distance between each stamp.
Attribute Name	The name of the Attribute to paint. Prefixes (e.g. primvars:) need to be included.
Color	The color of the brush. The number of values depends on the selected attribute.
Blend Mode	The blend mode to paint with.
Brush Falloff	Allows selection of several pre-configured falloff types.
Clamp	Check this to clamp attribute values between 0 and 1.

Note

Erase Mode behaves the same as the Subtract Blend Mode.

Visualization in the Viewport

Currently there is no built in way to visualize the result of your painted attribute in the viewport. In the case of primvars:displayColor it will be rendered by the default material - in all other cases the user needs to manually create a material that consumes the painted attribute to visualize it.
