holes in mesh

alexworx

Hi All,

I am trying to figure out if I can make holes in my mesh inside painter? For example, check out the enclosed picture and a screen shot of my model inside painter.

Is this possible if so can someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Add an opacity channel, mask the holes, lower opacity.

Thanks for the tip, but I am still not getting it to work

 Not sure what I am doing wrong.

I added a opacity channel to the material. I added a fill layer to the top of the stack, I turn off everything on except opacity channel.I added a paint effect w opacity on and I go to paint the holes and nothing shows up?

you need to use a shader that supports opacity

You need to use shaders which have alpha setting on them.

Thanks for the tips everyone. But I did use a shader with alpha. I actually am doing the opposite of what I want to do. I am painting holes on the mesh instead of creating holes. I reversed the opacity settings for the fill layer and the paint effect and nothing happens.

After painting the mask, right click on the mask then invert the mask?

So your painted will be the hole instead?

Thanks for the help, I still cant get this it work and I was up against a deadline so I just modeled it in the mesh. But I will revisit this once I have a bit more time.
Clearly I am doing something wrong. Thanks again
