Solid fill for closed Paths?

[Daniel277324394l9b]

Is there a way to fill a closed Path in Substance 3D Painter?

I was excited to see that paths can be used to project brush strokes, which is highly useful, but I could not see any instructions or examples to make a closed Path filled with something.

If this is not an existing feature I assume that it requires a different technical solutions than brush strokes.

However, it would be very useful to be able to draw solid shapes on surfaces using paths, which is something I would find highly useful when doing elaborate pattern designs on uneven surfaces. Regular brush strokes would not give the same amount of precision for clean edges, etc.

Hi Daniel,

I couldn't agree more, and I'm pretty sure most of the team would approve. This is something that was in discussion since the beginning of the Path tool creation, but it was pretty complicated to implement, and the rest of the tool was already working smoothly.

I can't promise anything, but I would be surprised if a "fill" option never appears in the application.

Has this functionality not been added yet?

Hi,

Actually, it has been added since 10.1.

How do you actually even use it. I can't see to get it working.

The fill option is currently a filter. You'll need to add a Fill Area (Color or Mask) filter to the layer containing the path.
