Create, Save, Modify, Manage and Share Brushes Now, it’s easier than ever to create and manage custom brushes, and collections of brushes inside BodyPaint. Single and even groups of brushes can be easily shared with other artists within a production team or with the CINEMA 4D community.

Keeping track of all those brushes is now easier with a vastly improved management system, including drag and drop sorting, improved library functions and better previewing. Speaking of brushes: Creating new brush profiles is a breeze - just sample an image selection and voila, you’ve created a custom brush tip. No saving and/or loading required.

Support for Photoshop Brushes
A real highlight if BodyPaint 3D Release 4 is that it now supports the .abr format for Adobe Photoshop compatible brushes. So BodyPaint 3D artists can now take advantage of vast resources available in the Photoshop community. Thousands of brushes are out there to be used – lots of them come even for free. And we've even added over 1,400 new brushes to the brush preset libraries.
