I think the tile option is better than area plane for alphas, because that will allow you to draw freely and not rely on spacing.

Tanks for this video ;)

thanks finaly i unsderstand how to use alphas

Thank you

3 years old but still useful and helpful

Still Valuable information today.

Thank you for the helpful information. As for needing to select "area plane" twice, could it be that the first one is how the brush area (the circular region) is mapped to the model, as in the overall selection of which parts of the mesh will be affected, and the second one is how the texture image is mapped onto the affected parts of the mesh?

After placing alpha brushes on dense meshes. Then turning that into a bump map and placing it back onto the low poly base mesh, my question is, how do you apply image textures on it after that?

how do you rotate your alpha easily? there is the angle option under area plane but its not the best practical thing! in substance painter you can easily rotate

can we use the stamps/stencils that come as defaults with other softwares like Cinema 4d or Mudbox with Blender sculpt brushes? did someone ever tried that ? Cinema 4d has tons of high quality and usefull ones I would like to use in Blender. Interested in a way to import those.

Nice vid. Can alpha brushes be used like this in texture painting? I just wonder if those buttons could be texture painted onto a model as a brush in the same way instead of sculpted? I mean I know a high res sculpt can be baked onto a low poly model as a normal map, but I wonder if this alpha brush thing can also be a texture painting technique or not.

Grant, I have a big problem that I hope you could help me with: I'm trying to use wrinkle textures as alphas to make the skin of my characters more realistic, but when combined with the default draw brush, this leads to the brush "raising" the skin instead of just imprinting the finer details of the wrinkles, and that changes the facial structure a lot. When I lower the brush's strength, this also leads to a loss of depth detail for the wrinkles/pores etc.. What can I do so the mesh of my character is only minimally changed in height instead of being moved around by the draw brush?

When I switch back to the "modeling" tab everything drawn with the brushes vanishes. Do alpha brushes create real geometry or just a picture of geometry? I can't 3d print without real geometry.
