Why we like it

Sculpt Mask FaceSets Tools stands out in the Blender extensions library for its narrow focus: it gathers existing Mask and Face Sets commands into a single pie menu rather than introducing new ones. At around 10.9 KB it's a compact add-on, and the pie-menu layout keeps those operations behind one shortcut.

What is Sculpt Mask FaceSets Tools?

Sculpt Mask FaceSets Tools is a sculpting support add-on for Blender, built around a pie menu that pulls the Mask and Face Sets commands normally scattered across the sculpting menu into one place. Its design emphasizes clarity and efficiency, giving quick access to those commands from a single interface.

The pie menu is organized by direction. The left side holds all Mask commands, the right side holds all FaceSet commands, the top covers transformation and display management, and the bottom groups Mesh Filter, Mask Extract, and Slice. To use it, select a mesh object, enter sculpting mode, and press the default shortcut key of 1 to bring the menu up. The add-on also switches between Chinese and English, defaulting to the Blender system language.

It runs on Blender 4.5 LTS and newer and requires no special permissions. The developer notes that the macOS-arm64 and Linux-x64 platforms have not been tested. Released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, the current version is 1.0.0.

Frequently asked questions

Does Sculpt Mask FaceSets Tools work with Blender 4.5?

Sculpt Mask FaceSets Tools requires Blender 4.5 as its minimum version and is listed as compatible with Blender 4.5 LTS and newer. If you're running an earlier release, you'll need to update Blender before installing the add-on. Once installed, select a mesh object and enter sculpting mode to use it. Because it targets the 4.5 LTS line and later builds, it fits current long-term-support workflows without needing older-version workarounds.

How do I open the pie menu in Sculpt Mask FaceSets Tools?

Sculpt Mask FaceSets Tools opens through a pie menu bound to a default shortcut key of 1. To bring it up, select a mesh object, enter sculpting mode, then press 1. The menu spreads the commands across four directions: Mask commands on the left, FaceSet commands on the right, transformation and display management at the top, and Mesh Filter, Mask Extract, and Slice at the bottom. This layout keeps the sculpting Mask and Face Sets commands reachable from one place.

Does Sculpt Mask FaceSets Tools support languages other than English?

Sculpt Mask FaceSets Tools supports switching between Chinese and English, and defaults to the Blender system language. So the pie menu can display its Mask and Face Sets commands in either Chinese or English, following your Blender system language by default while still allowing a switch between the two. This keeps the add-on usable for artists working in either language. For anything beyond these two languages, check the developer's page on GitHub.

Does Sculpt Mask FaceSets Tools work on macOS and Linux?

Sculpt Mask FaceSets Tools was developed with a note that the author does not have the conditions to test whether the macOS-arm64 and Linux-x64 platforms work normally. So while the add-on may run on those systems, its behaviour there hasn't been confirmed by the developer. If you're on Apple Silicon or Linux, expect to verify it yourself, and report any problems through the project's issue tracker on GitHub. On other setups, it targets Blender 4.5 LTS and newer.

Is Sculpt Mask FaceSets Tools free?

Sculpt Mask FaceSets Tools is listed as free here and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. The extension does not require special permissions, and its download is a compact package. Because licensing terms can change, check the developer's GitHub page for the current details before relying on any particular arrangement. The add-on is currently at version 1.0.0, published in March 2026, with no changelog noted for this release.
