# Sculpt Mode
Allows players to interactively reshape character mesh features and proportions by directly clicking and dragging designated pins attached to the mesh.
### Interactive Mesh Sculpting Setup
The sculpting system utilizes a combination of **Skeleton Sockets** (to position the interactive pins) and **Data Assets** (to link the pin to specific Morph Targets).
#### 1. Placing Sculpt Sockets on the Mesh
To define where an interactive pin should appear on the Character:
1. Open the **Skeletal Mesh** asset you wish to make sculptable.
2. Open the **Skeleton** asset associated with that mesh.
3. Locate the target bone (e.g., a head bone), right-click it, and select **Add Socket**.
4. Translate and position the new socket to the exact surface location where the visual interaction pin should appear.
5. Give the socket a descriptive name (e.g., NosePin).
{% hint style="info" %}
This workflow can be repeated across any skeletal mesh component attached to your Character.
{% endhint %}
#### 2. Mapping Sockets to Morph Targets
Once the sockets are created, you must map them to the corresponding morph targets that control the mesh deformation:
1. Navigate to **Data/DataAssets** and open **DA\_Character\_Sculpt** (If creating a new one, select **PDA\_CharacterSculptConfig** as the base class).
2. Add a new element to the map:
* **Key**: Enter the exact identifier **Slot Name** for the target skeletal mesh component (e.g., Face, or Body).
* **Socket Name**: Type the exact name of the skeleton socket you created in **Step 1** (e.g., NosePin).
* **Horizontal Morph Target**: Specify the Morph Target name that should activate when dragging left/right.
* **Vertical Morph Target**: Specify the Morph Target name that should activate when dragging up/down.
* **Sensitivity**: Adjust the multiplier value to control how fast or slow the morph targets deform relative to player mouse movement.
#### 3. Linking to the Character Blueprint
1. Open your **Character Blueprint** and select the **BP\_CustomizationComponent**.
2. In the **Details**, go to **Customization Component** ➞ **Character Sculpt Data Asset**.
3. Assign your newly configured asset to it.
#### Testing Sculpt Mode
Press **Play** in the editor and click the **Sculpt Mode** icon in the creator's sidebar. If the interactive pins spawn correctly on the Character, you can now click and hold them to dynamically blend your Character's morph targets.
