Description

Makes a brush: a bundle of look settings (color, alpha, shininess, blend mode, effects and up to eight textures) that you can apply in one go with PaintEntity, PaintMesh or PaintSurface. The new brush is opaque white with no texture unless you pass a color.

Brushes are the way to give different surfaces of one mesh a different look, because EntityColor and EntityAlpha affect the whole entity at once.
