Enhance your workflow with this awesomes and carefully designed sculpt and paint widgets!

Important Note for Mac users!

Due to an incompatibility with Macs with new dedicated hardware/software (apple silicon, Metal...), I don't recommend by any means to acquire the addon as you may have drawing artifacts, install issues or unable to use the addon correctly.

FAQ

Which is the lastest supported Blender version?

 (Usually lastest release version)

• Version 3.0.X, with support for Blender 3.6.5 and 4.0

I can't activate the addon!

• There is no support over alpha/beta versions as they are in-development and experimental. As you can read in the official website when downloading those versions:

They can be unstable and mess up your files. Use at your own risk.

• If some "bad magic number" error appears to you, that means somehow you changed the Python version of the Blender python environment, consider cleaning it up and download/install Blender again.
• If some other error pop-up to you please contact me.

Where can I find the tool?

[ for SculptWheel case ]

• HOLD 'Space' key to trigger it on Sculpt mode, release so it goes away! It will be filled with default brushes and tools for you (you can change them later or create other toolset).
• Addon panel can be found in 3D Viewport's sidebar > 'Sculpt' tab > 'Sculpt Wheel' panel

[ for PaintWheel case ]

• HOLD 'Space' key to trigger it on Texture Paint and Vertex Paint modes, release so it goes away! But you can configure this to keep open and close when pressing again the hotkey. Note you can configure this key but by default is the spacebar.
• For both paint modes, panel can be found in 3D Viewport's sidebar > 'Paint' tab > 'Paint Wheel' panel

How can I update the addon?

To update it in a safe way:

1. Disable it (uncheck the addon in the preferences).

2. Click at 'Remove' to remove the addon from Blender.
3. Close Blender and open it again.
4. Install new addon version.

RELEASE NOTES:

v.2.2 - 2.93 and GreasePencil

• [PaintWheel] Now supported in GreasePencil 'Draw' and 'Vertex' modes. Note that in 'Draw' mode, Color Picker will work only if using vertexcolor instead of Material option.
• [WeightWheel] Now supported in GreasePencil 'Weight' mode.
• Support with 2.93.

v.2.1 - Fixes and Requests!

• [PaintWheel] New preferences block for Color Picker, featuring a new option to lock Saturation/Lightness of ring color picker for Hue.
• [WeightWheel] New option so that the paint brush tool acts as a toggle between ADD and SUBTRACT brushes!
• [PaintWheel] Fixed a positioning bug of the gizmo in the SV color picker that was actually really visible on very high dpi screens.
• [PaintWheel] Fixed scaling issues of color picker and size/strength handlers/gizmos for higher dpi screens.
• [WeightWheel] Fixed scaling issues of overall things (texts, PAD, pie buttons... etc) for higher dpi screens. 

v2.0 - BIG UPDATE!

• New widget for Weight Paint, including: gesture pad and pie buttons (as for SculptWheel), visual slider for weight value, tools and weight markers with quick-snap to value action.
• BIG REFACTOR: Note that because of this you may lose old configurations/toolsets/custom buttons. This was something needed as the addon was getting bigger and bigger from only one mode to 4 and still growing! So this refactor is meant to improve development and support.
• Renewed preference settings. Now all it’s better organized.
• Improved panels, specially the Toolsets subpanel for Sculpt Wheel that is was completely renewed.
• Can import and export active toolset brushes to a library .blend file.
• Can export all (or filtered) toolsets to a library .blend file.
• Can do backups of all addon data. (importer to restore data will be next subversion).
• Can mark toolsets as GLOBAL to share them across all .blend files. Global toolsets are loaded directly when you open up any .blend file.
• Can save and reload global toolsets to export changes to source or re-import from source and discard changes.
• Can do daily backups.
• Added missing tooltips to buttons and properties.
• THEMES! Now you can tweak some wheel colors in the preferences!
• Added missing tooltips to buttons and properties. Please report if you see some without tooltip.
• UX: Strenght value in gesture pad had a noticeable horizontal jumping while sliding it.
• Fix: It was impossible to add custom Menus as custom buttons in SculptWheel.
• Much much more!
