Edit By Color brings the intuitive color selection tools you love from photo editing software into Blender, making the selection editing of high poly or non-quad meshes, much more manageable.

🔑 Key Features

Color Selection

• First a color can be selected from an objects existing diffuse texture
• The selection can fine tunes with threshold values
• Then the selection can be smoothed, grown, made smaller or masked by objects.

Mesh Editing

• The selection can quickly be selected, duplicated, split or deleted from the mesh.

Face Sets

• The color selection can be transformed into face sets for quick and easy sculpting

Shading

• The selection can be turned into shader attributes for quick material masking.

Textures and Baking

• An advanced and new texturing workflow has been developed for baking a small portion of the mesh to a bake 'Patch'
• This patch can then replace selected parts of the model.
• The final result can then be re-baked with the original textures to form a unified single texture.

Retopology Assistance

• Automatic quad loops can be generated around the color selection
• Merging and connecting these loops can be a huge speed boost in manual retopology
