Brushstroke Grooming

This section reveals how, since the brushstroke system uses hair curves under the hood, you can use the builtin Hair modifiers to control your draw layer brushstrokes and groom them just like regular hair to achieve a powerful sculpting workflow.

when I click the brush tool, the brush draw tool does not show. It rather shows the freehand spline. Any help in fixing this please?

@Oboh Michael The Brushstroke Draw tool can at this time only be supported for the hair curves geometry type. Both Grease Pencil and legacy curve don't support it.

If you have an issue with the default settings regardless please make a proper bug report in a way that allows me to reproduce the issue here: https://projects.blender.org/studio/blender-studio-pipeline

@chaz mcclaine I am using Blender version 4.3 beta in the recording of this workshop. This is one of the new features for that version.
