About Bbrush

Bbrush is a Python‑based add‑on for Blender 4.4 and newer that simulates ZBrush‑style sculpting. After selecting a mesh and entering Blender’s sculpt mode, Bbrush can be activated manually or set to start automatically via its preferences. A Bbrush button appears in the top bar, offering Normal, Mask, and Hidden modes. Extensive shortcuts cover view navigation, sculpting, smoothing and mask operations such as draw, erase, invert, fade, sharpen, fill, grow and shrink. The silhouette overlay can be set to Always, Only Sculpt, Only Bbrush, or Disabled, with an adjustable scale. Known limitations include lack of silhouette support in Blender 4.5 and disabling of multiresolution when hidden faces are toggled. The add‑on is released under the GNU GPL v3.0 or later.
