Brush Creator Add-on (Updated for Blender 5.0!)
Batch-generate Sculpt brush assets from your alpha images (and VDM EXRs) in minutes. Pick a folder, select an Asset Library, choose a Catalog, set brush options once, and let it build a clean, consistent brush set with icons, previews, and organized asset files automatically.
Batch Creation Asset Browser Ready Catalog Organized VDM Support Consistent Settings
Workflow: choose folder → pick Asset Library → set Catalog + brush settings → create → browse assets
⚡ Batch Brush Generation
Convert dozens or hundreds of images into brush assets in one run. No repetitive manual setup.
🗂️ Asset Library Dropdown
Select from your existing registered Asset Libraries. No copy/pasting paths, fewer mistakes.
🏷️ Catalog Auto-Create & Assign
Enter a catalog name and your brushes get saved into it automatically, keeping large libraries tidy.
🧪 Consistent Brush Settings
Apply standardized settings across the entire batch (e.g., Strength, Stroke, Mapping, Falloff).
🖼️ Icons + Previews Included
Each brush gets a custom icon and a preview from the source image for fast browsing.
🧊 VDM (EXR) Support
Import VDM brushes via EXR with the correct mapping (auto-handled when enabled).
Quick Start
- Choose your image folder: point to a folder of alphas (or EXRs for VDM).
- Select an Asset Library: pick from your registered libraries via dropdown.
- Set a Catalog name: brushes are saved into that catalog automatically.
- Set brush options: strength / stroke / mapping / falloff → click Create Brushes.
Tip: enable Recursive Search to scan subfolders when you have large brush packs.
Ideal For
- Sculptors building personal brush libraries fast
- Studios standardizing brush sets across machines/projects
- VDM workflows that need clean Asset Browser organization
- Brush pack imports where manual setup would take hours

Quick Demo
Batch Creating Sculpt Brushes from Alphas
Notes
- VDM mode: use EXR only; mapping must be Area Plane (the add-on enforces this when enabled).
- Naming: brush names are derived from filenames to keep filenames clean for best Asset Browser results.
- Large packs: recursive search helps when images are organized by subfolders.
- Overwrite behavior: if an asset file already exists with the same name, it will be replaced to keep the output consistent.
- User Library (Known Issue): creating brushes in the user library does not work and is being looked into
