Brush Preview 🔗

To make things less confusing in this very confusing world, we ask for uploaded brushes to have a standard preview.

Look at the other brushes in the BlenderKit database to get a better idea.

You can also use the 'brush preview template' option in the Scene section of BlenderKit.

Thanks for being a sport!
