+*******
+VDM Brush Baker
+*******
+
+This is a small add-on that makes it easy to create vector displacement map (aka VDM) brushes in Blender.
+Sculpting setups and the brushes can be created with one click.
+
+Activation
+==========
+
+- Open Blender and go to Preferences then the Add-ons tab.
+- Switch the category to "Baking"
+- Enable the "VDM Brush Baker" addon.
+
+Interface
+=========
+
+Located in the :menuselection:`3D Viewport --> Sidebar --> Tools`.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+Use the "Create Sculpting Plane" button for an optimal startign setup for sculpting your own VDM brush.
+
+Use the "Render and Create VDM Brush" button to covnert bake the plane into a new brush.
+The brush will be added with all relevant options and a vector displacement map
+is saved near the blender file as an Open EXR file (or a 'tmp' folder if the blender file wasn't saved).
+New brushes can be found as Draw brushes in sculpt mode.
+The add-on won't create any preview images for these brushes.
+
+Tips
+----
+
+- While Sculpting make sure to mask the borders of the plane for a better result.
+- If your VDM brush gets cut off at the corners, you can increase the size inside the texture panel of the brush settings to 1.1 or 1.2 for each axis.
+- A vdm-resolution of 512 px or lower is usually enough. Unless you have extremely detailed sculptings

 Introduction
 ************
 
-The UV Editor is used to map 2D assets like images/textures
-onto 3D objects and edit what are called UVs.
+The UV Editor is used for editing UV maps, which describe how a 2D image should be mapped
+onto a 3D object.
 
 .. figure:: /images/editors_uv_introduction_main.png
 
    UV Editor with a UV map and a test grid texture.
 
-The most flexible way of mapping a 2D texture over a 3D object is a process called "UV mapping".
-In this process, you take your three-dimensional (X, Y & Z) mesh and unwrap it to a flat two-dimensional
-(X & Y ... or rather, as we shall soon see, "U & V") image. Colors in the image are thus mapped to your mesh,
-and show up as the color of the faces of the mesh. Use UV texturing to provide realism to your objects that
-procedural materials and textures cannot do, and better details than Vertex Painting can provide.
+Image textures are typically needed when the desired look is hard to achieve with procedural textures,
+or if the texture is not uniform. For example, a car would only have scratches in a few places where they make sense,
+not in random places all over its body.
+
+Blender offers a number of projections (Box, Sphere...) that automatically apply a 2D image to a 3D object,
+but these tend to only work for simple meshes. For more complex ones, you need to create a UV map instead.
+This is a flat area where each face of the 3D object is laid out on the 2D image, specifying which part of the
+image it should be textured with. This gives you complete control over the mapping process.
+
+The name "UV" refers to the axes of the map: U for horizontal, V for vertical. These letters were chosen to
+avoid confusion with "X" and "Y", which refer to axes in 3D space instead.
 
 
 UVs Explained
 =============
 
-The best analogy to understanding UV mapping is cutting up a cardboard box.
-The box is a three-dimensional (3D) object, just like the mesh cube you add to your scene.
-
-If you were to take a pair of scissors and cut a seam or fold of the box,
-you would be able to lay it flat on a tabletop. As you are looking down at the box on the table,
+The best analogy to understand UV mapping is cutting up a cardboard box.
+If you were to take a pair of scissors and cut along its edges,
+you would be able to spread it out flat on a tabletop. As you are looking down at the table,
 we could say that U is the left-right direction, and V is the up-down direction.
-This image is thus in two dimensions (2D). We use U and V to refer to these
-"texture-space coordinates" instead of the normal X and Y, which are always used
-(along with Z) to refer to the three-dimensional space (3D).
 
-When the box is reassembled, a certain UV location on the paper is transferred to an (X, Y, Z)
-location on the box. This is what the computer does with a 2D image in wrapping it around a 3D object.
+As a next step, you could put the spread-out box on top of a poster, cut the poster
+to match its shape, glue the poster to the box, and finally reassemble the box.
+You now have a 3D box textured with a 2D image.
 
-During the UV unwrapping process, you tell Blender exactly how to map the faces of your object (in this case, a box)
-to a flat image in the UV Editor. You have complete freedom in how to do this.
-(Continuing our previous example, imagine that, having initially laid the box flat on the tabletop,
-you now cut it into smaller pieces, somehow stretch and/or shrink those pieces,
-and then arrange them in some way upon a photograph that is also lying on that tabletop.)
+A UV map describes how the box is cut up, and how it's laid out on the poster.
+You have complete freedom in how to do this: if you wanted to, you could cut each individual
+side of the box and position, rotate, scale, and even skew it on the poster
+independently of the other sides.
 
 
 Example
@@ -49,46 +50,19 @@ Example
 
    3D space (XYZ) versus UV space.
 
-In this image you can easily see that the shape and
-size of the marked face in 3D space is different in UV space.
-This difference is caused by the "stretching" (technically called mapping)
-of the 3D part (XYZ) onto a 2D plane (i.e. the UV map).
+In the above image, a dome in 3D space is flattened into a disc in UV space.
+Each 3D face is then textured with the part of the image it covers in the UV map.
 
-If a 3D object has a UV map, then, in addition to the 3D coordinates X, Y, and Z,
-each point on the object will have corresponding U and V coordinates.
+The image also demonstrates a common problem in UV maps: distortion. Notice how,
+even though the checkered squares in the 2D texture are all the same size,
+they get different sizes when applied to the 3D dome (they're smaller at the base
+than at the top). This is because the faces in the UV map have different relative
+sizes than in 3D space, which is a result of the flattening process.
 
-.. note::
+You'll typically want to minimize this distortion by manually guiding and tweaking
+the flattening, using :doc:`seams </modeling/meshes/uv/unwrapping/seams>` for example.
+However, it's not always possible to eliminate it completely.
 
-   On more complex models (like seen in the sphere above)
-   there pops up an issue where the faces cannot be cut,
-   but instead they are stretched in order to make them flat.
-   This helps making easier UV maps, but sometimes adds distortion to the final mapped texture.
-
-
-Advantages of UVs
-=================
-
-While procedural textures are useful -- they never repeat themselves and always "fit" 3D objects
--- they are not sufficient for more complex or natural objects.
-For instance, the skin on a human head will never look quite right when procedurally generated.
-Wrinkles on a human head, or scratches on a car do not occur in random places,
-but depend on the shape of the model and its usage. Manually-painted images,
-or images captured from the real world gives more control and realism.
-For details such as book covers, tapestry, rugs, stains, and detailed props,
-artists are able to control every pixel on the surface using a UV texture.
-
-A UV map describes what part of the texture should be attached to each polygon in the model.
-Each polygon's vertex gets assigned to 2D coordinates that define which part of the image gets mapped.
-These 2D coordinates are called UVs (compare this to the XYZ coordinates in 3D).
-The operation of generating these UV maps is also called "unwrap",
-since it is as if the mesh were unfolded onto a 2D plane.
-
-For most simple 3D models, Blender has an automatic set of unwrapping algorithms that you can easily apply.
-For more complex 3D models, regular Cubic, Cylindrical or Spherical mapping, is usually not sufficient.
-For even and accurate projection, use :doc:`seams </modeling/meshes/uv/unwrapping/seams>` to guide the UV mapping.
-This can be used to apply textures to arbitrary and complex shapes,
-like human heads or animals. Often these textures are painted images,
-created in applications like the Gimp, Krita, or your favorite painting application.
