About Sculpt Layers
Sculpt Layers is a Blender add‑on from Yey!, also known for MiraTools. It keeps the base mesh intact and lets you build detail as individual layers that can be added, removed, joined, erased, duplicated, or given an opacity value. The add‑on works with the Multires modifier and includes a Subdivide/Unsubdivide feature, while non‑Multires modifiers such as Mirror and Array are ignored. It can import layers from ZBrush and recent versions add shape‑key support, store layers as Geometry Nodes attributes, and improve performance. Documentation, a demo video, and a Discord support channel are provided. The software is released under the GPL license and is listed as free in the catalog.
