Essential brush settings like strength, size, blend mode and many others, are reset when Blender restarts. This add-on automatically saves and restores them. It supports brushes in Texture Paint, Sculpt, Vertex Paint, and Weight Paint modes.

â„šī¸ Note:

This add-on performs brush save/restore operations both at Blender startup and on file save. As a result, loading times may be longer than usual.


What's New

1.1.3 September 11th, 2025
  • [Fix] Dyntopo restoration did not work correctly in some cases.
  • [Fix] Saving when no objects are selected caused an error and interrupted the process.

simple and yet very important addon. Very annoying to loose the brush settings, this should be the default behaviour in b3d in my opinion. Thanks!
