Vertex features
Use the Vertex Features brush to add detail just where you need it. Vertex Features is especially useful for adding polygons before using Displacement so that the knots, scars, and roots you create stand-out, even on lower resolution models.
Vertex features, also called feature vertices, can be painted by hand or added via branch material. For more information, refer to Feature vertices.
Note
Vertex Features edits will remain regardless of changes to the model’s resolution.
For more information, refer to Paint Vertex Features in Freehand Mode and Vertex Features properties.
