The Freeze tool
locks affected vertices on a model so they cannot be modified while
you sculpt. You can freeze vertices on both the base subdivision
level and on sculpt layers. By default, the affected faces appear
blue when frozen.
Freeze vertices on a model
- In the Sculpt Tools tray,
select the Freeze tool.
- In the 3D View,
stroke regions on the model you want to freeze.
The areas you stroke
appear blue to indicate they are frozen.
NoteThe opacity of the
blue represents the amount of freezing. A fully opaque blue locks
the affected vertices, whereas partially opaque blue allows the
vertices to move slightly when you sculpt. The falloff setting for
the sculpt tool affects how freezing is applied, and you can select
another falloff preset from the Falloff tray.
Unfreeze vertices on a
model
- Either
press the Ctrl key and stroke on the frozen region, or turn on Invert Function in
the Freeze properties window and
stroke on the frozen region to remove freezing.
- To unfreeze all frozen areas on the model,
select Edit > Unfreeze All (Shift +
U).
Mask regions of a model
The Mask tool
lets you paint opacity values on sculpted regions to non-destructively
hide the sculpting on a layer. The Mask tool
only works with sculpting layers, not with the base subdivision
level. Each sculpting layer can have its own mask. See
Mask sculpting on a layer.
