Answered: Color ID Masking
polycounter lvl 6
Hi guys, I'm having trouble utilizing color id masking for handpainted textures.
They work fine for smart materials, but if I try to use any paint layers I run into a bit of trouble.
So far it:
1) Masks properly, but after painting some more all of the albedo disappears after leaving painting mode.
2) Doesn't mask to color id.
Am I doing something wrong?
^I know it doesn't mask while in paint mode, I just couldn't get it to mask properly at all anymore for a screen capture. :v

For masking, try putting the paint layer into a folder with DDO, then mask the folder to the area you want to keep the paint localized to.
