Sturdy 1.5<\/strong> introduces exciting NEW CONTROLS<\/strong> and Blender 5+ compatibility*.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Additionally, some of\u00a0 Sturdy<\/strong>‘s settings are now grouped in collapsible panels. All the new controls are located on the Brushwork Controls<\/strong> panel:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u25bc Auto Rotating Factor
\n<\/strong>Since Sturdy<\/strong>‘s original release, brushstrokes slowly and randomly rotate if you orbit a mesh with a Sturdy<\/strong> material. With this setting you may tone down that effect. Set it to 0<\/strong> for no auto rotation.<\/p>\n

\u25bc Sfumato
\n<\/strong>Sfumato<\/em> (Italian for smoked off<\/span>, blurred<\/em>) is a painting technique for softening the transition between colors. Leonardo da Vinci was its greater champion. Use the Sfumato<\/strong> slider to emulate that Renaissance effect on your Sturdy<\/strong> material.<\/p>\n

\u25bc Bristle Thinness
\n<\/strong>Not quite the same as Brush Detail<\/strong>, even if the settings are related. Higher values will make the brushstrokes’ bristles thinner \u2013 and the brush itself wider.<\/p>\n

\u25bc Brushwork Size
\n<\/strong>Not quite the same as Brushwork Density<\/strong>, even if the settings are related. Higher values will reduce the overall brushwork scale.<\/p>\n

\u25bc Brushstroke Seed
\n<\/strong>Our absolute favorite in this release, Brushstroke Seed<\/strong> will change the aspect of the brushstrokes on a Sturdy<\/strong> material, without changing the brushstrokes’ look, structure and general orientation<\/em>. You get infinite color variations\/rendering looks within the same brushwork structure and chosen palette. Do give this one a try!<\/p>\n

\u25bc Brushwork Sharpen
\n<\/strong>Higher values (max value 1<\/strong>) will give a slightly sharpened look to the overall brushwork. Not for all occasions, but you may like it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

*<\/strong>Blender 5 changed many of EEVEE’s inner calculations, resulting in a slightly different look for the Sturdy<\/strong> shader. If you want the exact same look of the original release, stick to Sturdy 1.2<\/strong> and Blender 4.5 (or less, but not earlier than 3.4).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":26,"menu_order":4,"template":"","doc_tag":[],"class_list":["post-461","docs","type-docs","status-publish","hentry"],"comment_count":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paulobrabo.com\/brabarous\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paulobrabo.com\/brabarous\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paulobrabo.com\/brabarous\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/docs"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/paulobrabo.com\/brabarous\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/461\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":484,"href":"https:\/\/paulobrabo.com\/brabarous\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/461\/revisions\/484"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paulobrabo.com\/brabarous\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/26"}],"prev":[{"title":"Detailed Settings Breakdown","link":"https:\/\/paulobrabo.com\/brabarous\/docs\/sturdy\/detailed-settings-breakdown\/","href":"https:\/\/paulobrabo.com\/brabarous\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paulobrabo.com\/brabarous\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"doc_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paulobrabo.com\/brabarous\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/doc_tag?post=461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
