Blender Brushes - FAQ
What are Blender brushes used for?
Blender brushes power sculpting, painting, and texture detailing. They control how you shape, smooth, carve, or paint surfaces, making them essential for everything from character creation to stylized textures.
What types of brushes does Blender include?
Blender ships with basics like Draw, Clay Strips, Inflate, Smooth, and Grab for sculpting, plus paint brushes for texturing. Custom brush packs expand this - adding anatomy brushes, fabric folds, hard-surface tools, and stylized painting sets. These packs save time and unlock effects that are difficult with default tools.
Do beginners need custom brushes?
Yes - curated brush sets simplify learning by producing clean results out of the box. Instead of struggling with setup, you can focus on form, design, and creativity.
Do professionals rely on them too?
Absolutely. Game artists, concept designers, and character sculptors often build or buy brush libraries to match their workflows. Quality brushes accelerate pipelines and ensure consistent results.
