The Material Brush paints the material selected in the Materials tab onto brushes by clicking and dragging over them. It is the quickest way to texture many faces: no need to select them first.

Using it

1. Click a material in the Materials tab.
2. Pick Material Brush.
3. Click or drag over surfaces. With Individual faces on, each face you pass over is painted; off, every face of each brush you pass over.
4. Shift+X picks up the settings of the face under the brush.

Each stroke is one undo step. It also paints path brushes.

Settings

Tick what a stroke should change; it can do several at once.

Setting	Type	Default	What it does
Individual faces	Check box	Off	Paint only the faces you pass over. Off paints the whole brush.
Paint materials	Check box	On	Apply the selected material.
Erase materials	Check box	Off	Under Paint materials: remove the material instead, back to the default.
Paint color	Check box	Off	Paint the face color chosen in Color (white by default).
Paint visibility	Check box	Off	Set faces visible or hidden, as Visible says. A hidden face is not drawn.
Paint UV	Check box	Off	Reset the face's texture placement (its UV transform) to the default.
