A Stencil allows you to load an image in the viewport to define a screen space mask for painting in your viewport. This feature is great for quickly laying down logos, graffiti, grime, and other patterned detail.
Manipulate your stencils on the fly using:
- Z to toggle stencils on/off
- Z + LMB: rotate stencil (hold Shift to snap)
- Z + MMB: pan stencil
- Z + RMB: zoom stencil
Check out the Stencils folder in Toolbag’s Library to access dozens of free stencil textures.
