Question

Geometry masking not working

I have a mech made of about 2000 spheres but when i use geometry masking with mesh names i cannot get the mask to work. It works fine for other armoured parts of the body.

It recognizes that the object are different and masks in the viewport but when i go back to paint mode it colours every sphere

Hi @lukep60027779,

 

Thanks for details.


This is interesting. I'd like to take a look at your project if you don't mind sharing it, so I can investigate. You can send it to me privately at cdellenbach@adobe.com

 

Let me know,

Thank you, I have sent an email to you. the only thing i can think of is that all the spheres share the same UV space which could be causing a problem? but i don't know enough about how the masking system works enough

If the UVs are overlapping, masking won't help indeed. Unfortunately, there's not really a solution for that. Texturing is always depending on the UVs (except with vertex painting, but this is a very specific approach). Therefore, all the spheres will share the same painted properties.

 

To make it work properly, all the sphere will need to have their own UV space.

 

Best regards,
