Face Sets for Fast Character Sculpting

#Character#Sculpt#Workflow

Control sculpting like you’re working in organized layers.

The Workflow

  1. Switch to Sculpt Mode.
  2. Use Face Sets:
    • Press H to hide, Shift+H to isolate.
    • Use Face Set tools to create sets for eyelids, lips, ears, fingers.
  3. Enable Auto Masking → Face Sets so brushes don’t spill across borders.
  4. Refine anatomy area-by-area with clean separation.

The Usage

Face Sets prevent “brush bleed” between forms (like lips dragging the cheek). It’s a huge speed boost for characters because you can focus on one region at a time without constantly fighting your brush.
