How the new value you paint interacts with any existing value. This acts component-wise for colors.

The shape and behavior of the brush.

For color attributes, the color to be applied on strokes.

For color attributes, the color to be applied on strokes.

For float attributes, the floating point value to be applied on strokes.

For float attributes, the floating point value to be applied on strokes.

For integer attributes, the integer value to be applied on strokes.

For integer attributes, the integer value to be applied on strokes.

The radius of the brush, when Shape is set to Volume or Surface.

The size in pixels used by the Screen Brush.

The opacity of the paint applied on the next stroke. An opacity value of 1 will apply the full effect of the stroke, while an opacity of 0 will have no effect.

The brush is drawn with a solid core that drops off to zero. The soft edge controls the percentage of the brush that is in the drop off. A soft edge of 0 will make a hard edge, and a soft edge of 1 will have a smooth fall off from the core.

Only affect the points which are within the same connected component as the primary hit point.

Only affect the points whose normals are facing the viewer in the same way as the primary hit point.

This provides a faster way to avoid having brushes wrap to the hidden part of the geometry. This does not work with the Surface shape.

Only affect the points that are visible from the viewer.

This requires sending rays to validate the points, so it can be expensive.

The amount the positions of points should be biased towards the camera before sending self-intersection rays to determine visibility.

If Visible Only is turned on, but the paint still affects points which are not visible, you may need to decrease this value to avoid skipping over collisions. If some points are being marked invisible despite being visible, they may be self-shadowed, and this number may need to be increased.

How much the stroke pressure affects the opacity. If this is 0, the opacity will be independent of how hard you press. If this is 1, the opacity will scale to zero as the stylus pressure scales to zero.

How much the stroke pressure affects the brush radius. If this is 0, the radius will be independent of how hard you press on a tablet. If this is 1, the radius will scale to zero as the stylus pressure scales to zero.

Displays the current stroke’s path as guide geometry.

The name of the attribute. If no attribute exists, it is created. Colors are created with a default (1, 1, 1), float attributes with 0, and integer attributes with 0.

The type of the attribute.

Float attribute are simple scalar attributes like mask or fuel. They are displayed with a 0-1 visualization when the painting is active.

Color attributes are three-float attributes. They will be displayed as RGB colors when the painting is active.

Integer attributes are a distinct integer value for each point. They are displayed as random colors for each integer value when painting is active. Note that integer attributes are not blended. It is assumed that they refer to named regions, so mixing does not make sense.

Every brush stroke is reflected around the provided mirror and applied a second time. This allows a preservation of mirror symmetry. Note that changing this setting only affects new brush strokes.

The center of the mirror plane.

The normal of the mirroring plane.

When playing back the paint strokes when recaching or bypassing the point cache, there are several options for how to apply the stored strokes to the current geometry.

Reapply the strokes. This replays all the strokes on the new input geometry so it may take a long time, but it allows the transfer to new geometry with mismatched point values.

Note that if groups depended on point numbers, the resulting re-application may not work.

Controls if the cached paint is saved to the hip file. Saving may bloat the hip file, but not saving will slow down loading, as the entire cache process has to be played back, and will risk that the behavior will not be the same.

Changes to this option will only take effect with the next recache or stroke drawn.

This toggle will bypass the cache of point attributes and instead reapply all the strokes from scratch. This can be useful to procedurally apply to changing point counts.

Re-applying the strokes every time you paint will become increasingly slow and untenable for large geometry. Turning on this option will cache the changed point values so that only the latest stroke needs to be applied.

If turned off, Bypass Point Cache should be turned on, and Bypass Point Cache will not reset when new strokes are painted.

Erases the stored cache of all the strokes drawn. After doing this, the Bypass Point Cache and Recache Strokes options will not work, as they will no longer have a record of the earlier strokes.

In cases where procedural application is not desired, this can avoid the cost of saving a long paint session.

Hidden attribute: The complete set of strokes drawn so far.

Hidden attribute: The geometry on which intersections are calculated. This is used to allow the painting of displayed geometry other than the output of this node. However, the displayed geometry should match point counts with this node’s input.

Hidden attribute: While painting a stroke, only the most recent mouse motions are recomputed. This stores the stencil mask of the previous mouse motions to allow this optimization.

Hidden attribute: The cache of attribute value changes for each point.
