Enable Mask to follow the projection of the layer it is attached to

In certain cases it may be useful to have the mask of a layer to follow the same projection as the layer it is attached to. For example, when using Warp projection and projecting a Fill layer with a number of vertices, we may need the mask to follow the same transforms.

There is actually a way to do this using a Substance material with an Opacity channel with User Data set to "IsAlphaChannel = True". This enables to use Warp projection on material with opacity channel, the latter masking all the other channels as well. I would like this feature to be possible in Painter without the need to use an external Substance.

Hi Cyril,

Glad you liked the idea! I'd actually need this for one of my tools, currently users need to create a Substance in Designer to warp their hair covers, as explained into the below video. It would be very handy to be able to do this without leaving Painter.
