You can also paint in the layer mask itself and have your generator as a part of the mask stack with multiply blending mode for example. You can also paint a mask on some layer in the very bottom of the stack , set anchor there and then use fill in your target layer mask stack with a link to that anchor.Sometimes it easier…
Hi guys, after a lot of testing I decided to clean up this thread a bit to make it easier to understand the issue. The problem is that using a color map breaks cavity and ao masks. Leaving the color map slot empty produces nice and correct ao and cavity masks. The issue is most prominent with rich occl The following…
I'm not sure if there is a known issue, but I'm having issues when trying to paint in a mask with a paint layer. For example, I've got a base metal that I put a black mask on. Doesn't matter if I paint white directly in the mask or use a paint layer, it's not having an effect. On a material with a smart mask, adding a…
using the latest release I can paint a mask out and everything is fine, i accept the mask and it applies. If i go back to edit the mask the 2d flat shows fine, but 3do just shows a full white mask. Then if i accept the mask my old one is overwritten with the full white. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello! I recently started using DDO and it is great so far minus a few minor inconveniences. The issue I'm currently having is when attempting to edit a dynamask and add some custom painting to it; as soon as I touch the mesh with the brush, the mask turns black in 3DO and the only option I have is to cancel the mask to…
Ive noticed this but cant find anything on the subject so maybe its just me. Does this affect anyone else? You know how you can use the transpose tool to "quick mask" drag a mask along a surface? For some odd reason WITH SYM on, you cannot do that on a real world scale object. Only something small / unified. For example,…
So Im setting up a new texturing/shader workflow for us which is gonna be pretty important and probably running for a long time. As I am in the finishing stages, I get the typical doubts, but just general curiousness as this is a very freestyle thing that can be done in unending ways. I know these things are highly…
Hey guys. Trying to figure this out in substance and I can't figure it out. Basically I have a plexiglass cover that goes over a TV monitor. The outsides of the plexiglass has some graphics on it, but the inner part of the plexiglass is transparent, like glass. The way I have it now is I have a flat single polygon plane…
Hello everyone. The issue i'm experiencing is what I paint a mask using Dynamask, whatever I paint stays in Dynamask. I cannot see or edit the mask outside of it. If i create a custom mask in PS (without painting in Dynamask) it works fine. I can still go back and edit it no problem. I like using the Marquee tool to create…
Getting back into ZBrush after many years a way, so Im pretty lost at some points, one question is if its possible to mask off something by selecting its layer. Say I have a layer that contains a bunch of metal pieces and I want to mask that out w/o repainting my mask. I've tried to save it as a polygroup but whenever I…
