# Sculpt Mesh

<figure><img src="https://meshmorpher.com/media/nodes/SculptMeshNode.jpg" alt="Sculpt Mesh node"><figcaption><p>The <strong>Sculpt Mesh</strong> node</p></figcaption></figure>

## When to use it

Sculpt a mesh by hand in the viewport. Select the node and the brushes appear; deselect it and they go away.

{% hint style="info" %}
Wire the unsculpted mesh into `Original` as well. That is what the Restore brush paints back toward, and what `Delta` is measured against.
{% endhint %}

## How to use it

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Wire a mesh into Mesh and select the node

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Pick a brush from the side panel and work in the viewport

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Press Accept

`Mesh` carries the result; `Delta` carries what you moved.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

| Pin          | Type       | Description                                                                                                                                 |
| ------------ | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Mesh`       | Mesh       | The mesh you want to sculpt on.                                                                                                             |
| `Original`   | Mesh       | The same mesh before you sculpted it. Delta is measured against this, and the Restore brush paints back toward it.                          |
| `Weights`    | Weight Map | Where the brushes are allowed to bite: 1 is full strength, 0 is frozen, in between feathers. Leave it unconnected to sculpt the whole mesh. |
| `Reference`  | Mesh       | The surface the Project brush pushes vertices onto. The other brushes ignore it.                                                            |
| {% endtab %} |            |                                                                                                                                             |

{% tab title="Outputs" %}

| Pin           | Type   | Description                                                                                                      |
| ------------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Mesh`        | Mesh   | The sculpted mesh, once you press Accept.                                                                        |
| `Delta`       | Deltas | How far each vertex moved from the original. Feed it to Apply Deltas to put the same change on a different mesh. |
| {% endtab %}  |        |                                                                                                                  |
| {% endtabs %} |        |                                                                                                                  |
