Brush Shaders are shaders that allow you to easily to add or remove voxels from your geometry by selecting the area in which you want the shaders to take effect.

How to use a Brush Shader

  1. Select Voxel Shader Mode [B]
  2. Select either:
    • Attach: to only add new voxels
    • Erase: to only erase existing voxels
    • Paint: to only change existing voxels (voxels will not be added or erased)
  3. Select the shader in the Shader List

Restricting voxels (painting existing voxels)

By default, Brush Shaders are used with the Voxel Shader Mode, however, the Paint mode can also be used to replace voxels with the chosen color.

  1. Right-click your chosen color and select Voxel select by color
  2. Select Voxel Shader Mode [B]
  3. Select Paint
  4. Under Box, press the Voxel Shader option and Gizmo
  5. Select the shader in the Shader List
  6. Draw a box over the volume; only the selected voxels will be updated.
