So sorry for the noob spam here.

I’m following Joe’s fantastic Rebirth tutorial, and one again hit a dead-end.

Joe appears to easily access this “modes” tab with alpha brushed for sculpting. I just don’t see that. Did it move for unreal 4.25, or am I just blind?

Joe’s tut:

My settings:

Thanks,

Ok… so the brush shape needs to be changed from Circle to Alpha in the sculpt tab… then you get an option to add alpha texture.
