Sculpt lattice objects

I wish you could sculpt lattice objects the same way you can any other mesh. Just using edit mode for shape keys is hell.

Edit: For Extra Context i use lattices with Grease Pencil which doesn't have a mesh mesh deform modifier

Not a great workaround, but you can use a mesh object as if it is a lattice and sculpt on that using the Mesh Deform modifier. You have to tab in and out of sculpt mode to update the result, but it works as a way to bypass edit mode.

Ohh wow, i didn't know about this. Thanks for the tip :3 . But i guess the Mesh Deform Modifier doesn't work on grease pencil. ( which i just found out too lol.. )

That's what i need the Lattice for

Yeah, GPencil would benefit from the mesh deform but then with lattices I just use Proportional Edit Falloff and only shape it from a single control point instead of manually grabbing each in Edit mode.

Yeah that's what i was doing but it's way harder to make little fast tweaks Especially when using more than one lattice at a time. just sculpting is so much easier. the difference between taking 2 hours vs a few mins to get the shapekey right.
