Erase Tool
Removes painted pixels. Shares the brush mechanics and properties, but inverted.
Translation in progress — showing the English version.
Removes previously painted pixels. Internally it shares the same stamp mechanism as the Brush Tool, so the properties are virtually identical.
Shortcut
E — Activates the Erase Tool in the Painting 3D tool palette.
Behavior
| Context | Action |
|---|---|
| Regular paint layer | Removes painted color along with the alpha |
| Mask edit mode | Behaves like a white brush (re-reveals areas hidden by the mask) |
The key distinction is that in mask edit mode, Erase becomes a "paint-white" tool. Alternate Brush and Erase to sculpt the mask area.
