After searching and searching THIS solved every problem I was having, I cannot thank you enough!

[@SpaceGringos3D]

Another great tutorial! 🎉

[@krissosful]

Awesome tutorial, many thanks a for sharing👏👏

[@KrissieFox]

Wow, this is a really neat tool! I could see this having a lot of useful applications, thank you for making this tutorial. :)

[@wgrassbjd]

Thank you soooo much!!! I was able to create my own stencil (a simple grayscale image) and use it after watching your video!

[@NN-wc7dl]

Perfect tutorial. If only all tutorials out there would follow... 🙂

[@kaizu4914]

Excellent tutorial!

[@sahhull]

Excellent... Just what I needed.

[@robert5770]

Months and months of trying to texture objects to 3d print, you taught me in 6 minutes!!!! Thank you so much!

[@aymanrefaee]

Excellent

[@vizdotlife]

You didn't delete the default cube 😂

[@AlwaysEast]

Very cool

Hi, I have a problem. when I left click it just does a weird bump, the cursor is a red circle and not blue but I have the draw tool selected

[@MauryXman]

This work with stencil wall effect, is possible export it in stl for 3D print? And this work, HOW to do for a cylinder?

[@ignacioherrero9374]

Hi.. Best regards from Spain. Nice job dude!!!, one question about those zbrush files I purchased I cannot apply them into blender because they're in zbrush extension. I have linux and I don't know how solve this trouble,...some idea about, thx in advance, Ignacio.

[@brazensigilos8161]

Sweet! Ive been wondering how to do this

[@3DPrinterAcademyTutorials]

I wish there were more free stencils, but the one in the video is the best I've been able to find. It's $5 USD. Eventually I'd like to make my own textures that I can offer for free.

[@sdblaslth6387]

@@3DPrinterAcademyTutorials did u maybe make any?

[@bradfordcox8415]

Can this same kind of thing be done onto a cylinder? if not, what method would we use to apply this to a cylinder? Thank you.

[@leoniddavydov2050]

Great video thank you for posting it! I have a problem - no matter what I do my texture comes low-res. The texture is 2048x2048, I tried different formats but it takes it as a low res. I'm so confused.

[@3DPrinterAcademyTutorials]

maybe its due to the multires modifier?

[@MauryXman]

ok but how do it on cylinder or conic solid? On cube is easy

[@kamiltaylanavci9271]

Can we model walls with the brushes you sell and print them on a SLA printer?

[@TruthSurge]

I did all this and my stencil is only black. There's no light parts in it. I went to sculpt mode, added pic, set the settings, just a black square. ok, I spent way too long going through tons of properties to discover that one variable (some sort of x offset) was set to 3 or something and apparently it shoved my pic out of the stencil area. I set x to 0 and the image now showed up BUT when I click on it with large radius, I get nothing. I have stuff set to strong and no airbrush and using graphics pen. Maybe it only works with mouse? anyway, still not working for me. Any ideas? I just added a cube, subdiv 10 times, multiresed it, went into sculpt mode, pulled the brush across the stencil and it worked. Then I tried it on the vase I modeled and it worked but only on sides and back... ? then I unchecked front faces only or whatever and had repetition along z axis about 6 and boom, it made the alpha extrude from the vase going around making 6 extruded floral shapes that look like they are just sculpted right onto the vase. I have no idea why it works now and not before. Blender must also work in mysterious ways.

[@akashthesky3366]

if i made the wall little more bigger my pc will burn, nice tutorial btw👍

[@ajp000000]

I really want to add bricks to a model but my cpu can’t hand the subdividing is there any other method i can use the do this?

[@3DPrinterAcademyTutorials]

Make sure the fast side isn’t ‘dragging’ against the wall

[@infamousprogrammer]

it works and all but for some reason my mesh now has over 1,000,000 faces (i think i did something wrong in my end but don't know what)

[@mindmythfilms1428]

When i do left click nothing happens at all... can't figure this out...

[@Tokyodb]

Maybe you turned the overlays off. Check the little icons to the left of the shading settings (the little buttons in the top right that switch you from wireframes to ‘solid’, to ‘material preview’, or to ‘rendered’)

Can i get it in 3d printer

[@ۥۦۥ]

this is so unoptomised
