Answered: Adding a Smart Material with a mask open results in a mess

Borx25

I've found something odd:

I hand painted a mask on dynamask for smart material, all good. 
Immediately after, I added another smart material and it resulted a mess, looked inside to see what was happening and it appears that it pasted that mask i painted before on most layers, even those that don't use hand painted masks but instead are based on AO or cuvature. Deleted the messy smart material and added a different smart material, equal result, the hand painted masks in most layers.

After going crazy for a couple of minutes I closed the mask.psd that was still holding the mask i hand painted. And then added a smart material and it worked just fine.

So, from now on i can remember to close the masks before adding a smart material, but should be fixed, either by making the smart material not use that mask in all layers for no reason, or autoclose the mask once it's used?

Hey Borx - did you Accept Mask in DynaMask before adding a Smart Material?

Sorry for the delay, i could check again, but from what i remember i did accept the mask but it wasn't closed.
As an extra info, this appears to be project-dependant, in the sense that its only happening on 2 projects i started the same day, whatever i do on them the masks say open and get pasted on new materials. But other new projects work just fine.
