Stencil properties

On

  Turns the stencil on or off.

Image

  Displays a thumbnail of the loaded stencil image.

File

  Displays the file path for the loaded stencil image. You can load a stencil image by selecting an image on the Stencil tray, clicking the Import button or clicking the Set Stencil icon in the Image Browser.

Import

  Opens a file browser for loading a stencil image into the active camera.

Transformation

  Specifies the Translation, Rotation and Scale values for the stencil, letting you change the position and scale of the stencil in the 3D View. Rotation occurs only within the camera viewing plane.

Invert Values

  Inverts the values of the stencil image.

Hide When Sculpt

  When on, hides the stencil as you sculpt.

Flip Horizontal

  Flips the stencil along its X axis.

Flip Vertical

  Flips the stencil along its Y axis.

Use Tiles

  Repeats the stencil image in X and Y screen space to fill the 3D View.

Show Tiles

  Toggles the display of the tiled stencil image in 3D View.

Visibility

  Toggles the display of the stencil image. Affects only the display, with no impact on the strength of the stencil.

Multiplier

  Controls the strength of the stencil.

Offset

  Offsets the stencil deformation relative to the surface of the model. The higher the number, the more vertices are raised and pulled out. The lower the number, the more they are pushed in. Set to the middle value (50), brushing over black pixels pushes vertices down, and brushing over white pixels pulls vertices out.
