Mask

Masking to control which areas of the mesh are influenced by sculpting.

Brush

To edit the mask, select the Mask Brush from the Brush panel.

Édition

Reférence

Mode: Sculpt Mode
Menu: Mask

Masks can be edited across the entire model. Using A opens a pie menu to choose different operations.

Invert Mask

Reférence

Mode: Sculpt Mode
Menu: Mask ‣ Invert Mask
Raccourci: Ctrl-I

Inverts an existing mask.

Fill Mask

Reférence

Mode: Sculpt Mode
Menu: Mask ‣ Fill Mask

Fills the whole mask with a value of 1.

Clear Mask

Reférence

Mode: Sculpt Mode
Menu: Mask ‣ Clear Mask
Raccourci: Alt-M

Fills the mask with a value of 0. To completely remove the mask data, see Clear Sculpt-Mask Data.

Box Mask

Reférence

Mode: Sculpt Mode
Menu: Mask ‣ Box Mask
Raccourci: B

Works like the Box Select tool, it creates a rectangular mask region. Hold Shift to clear the mask of the selected region.

Lasso Mask

Reférence

Mode: Sculpt Mode
Menu: Mask ‣ Lasso Mask
Raccourci: Maj-Ctrl-LMB

Can be used to create a free-form mask, similar to the Lasso Select tool.

Astuce

To clear the mask of areas with the Lasso Mask tool, first invert the mask, apply the Lasso Mask, and then invert the mask back.

Mask Filters

Reférence

Mode: Sculpt Mode
Menu: Mask ‣ Mask Filters

Mask filters are operations that are applied to the whole paint mask.

Type

Smooth/Sharpen Mask: Changes the crispness of the mask edge.
Grow/Shrink Mask: Changes the size of the mask.
Increase/Decrease Contrast: Augmenter/diminuer le contraste du masque.

Iterations

The number of times that the filter is going to be applied.

Auto Iteration Count

Use an automatic number of iterations based on the number of vertices of the sculpt.

Expand Mask by Topology

Reférence

Mode: Sculpt Mode
Menu: Mask ‣ Expand Mask by Topology
Raccourci: Maj-A

Creates a mask radiating outwards from the active vertex in a uniform manner.

Note

This operator is meant to be used interactively through the shortcut.

Hotkeys

Invert: F Flips between expanding a positive mask (value of one) or a negative mask (value of zero). In the case of face sets, this option flips between including areas inside the masked area or areas outside the masked area.
Toggle Preserve State: E Accumulates the new mask on top of the previous one instead of replacing it. For Face Sets, this creates Face Sets boundaries instead of replacing the existing Face Set.
Toggle Gradient: G Enables linear gradient, creates a linear gradient of values from the origin to the current active vertex.
Geodesic Recursive Step: R Generate a new Geodesic falloff from the boundary of the enabled vertices of the current falloff.
Topology Recursive Step: Alt-R Generate a new topology flood fill falloff from the boundary of the enabled vertices of the current falloff.
Move Origin: Spacebar Moves the initial vertex used for calculating the falloff.
Geodesic Falloff: 1 Utilise une atténuation basée sur les distances Geodesic entre la limite de l’arête et le sommet actif.
Topology Falloff: 2 Utilise une atténuation basée sur un remplissage par inondation utilisant des arêtes.
Diagonals Falloff: 3 Utilise une atténuation basée sur un remplissage par inondation à l’aide de diagonales et d’arêtes de polygones.
Spherical Falloff: 4 Uses a falloff based on the Euclidean distances from the edge boundary to the active vertex.
Snap Expanded to Face Sets: Ctrl Isole la région développée jusqu’à la limite du jeu de faces sous le curseur.
Loop Count Increase: W Augmenter le nombre de boucles ou d’itérations exécutées par l’opérateur ; l’utilisation de quatre boucles divisera le masque en quatre parties.
Loop Count Decrease: Q Decrease the number of loops or iterations the operator is run; using four loops will split the mask into four parts.
Toggle Brush Gradient: B Similar to linear gradient but uses the current brush Falloff to define the shape of the falloff.
Texture Distortion Increase: Y Augmente la distance d’atténuation lors de l’utilisation d’une texture pour déformer la forme du masque.
Texture Distortion Decrease: T Decreases the falloff distance when using a texture to distort the mask shape.

Utilisation

Textures

Textures can be used to affect the « strength » of the mask. This feature can be combined with loops and recursion to create really unique looking masks. To enable textures, you first need to create/select a texture to use, this is done by in the Properties editor’s Texture Properties. Next select the texture in the Texture Brush Settings, while there make sure to enable 3D Mapping. Now, you can use Y and T to increase or decrease the affect the texture has on the edge of the mask.

Expand Mask by Normals

Reférence

Mode: Sculpt Mode
Menu: Mask ‣ Expand Mask by Normals
Raccourci: Maj-Alt-A

Creates a mask radiating outwards from the active vertex while following the curvature of the mesh. This operator uses the same internal operator as Expand Mask by Topology meaning all the shortcuts and functionality works the same as that tool.

Note

This operator is meant to be used interactively through the shortcut.

Mask Extract

Reférence

Mode: Sculpt Mode
Menu: Mask ‣ Mask Extract

Creates a duplicate mesh object based on masked geometry.

Threshold (Seuil): Valeur de masque minimale pour considérer le sommet comme valide pour extraire une face du maillage d’origine.
Add Boundary Loop: Creates and extra boundary loop on the edges of the geometry, making it ready for adding a Subdivision Surface modifier later.
Smooth Iterations: Itérations lisses appliquées au maillage extrait.
Project to Sculpt: Projeter le maillage extrait sur l’objet de sculpture d’origine.
Extract as Solid: Ajouter un Modificateur Solidify à l’objet maillé nouvellement créé.

Mask Slice

Reférence

Mode: Sculpt Mode
Menu: Mask ‣ Mask Slice

Supprime les sommets masqués du maillage.

Threshold (Seuil): Valeur de masque minimale pour considérer le sommet comme valide pour extraire une face du maillage d’origine.
Fill Holes: Remplit les trous concaves avec la géométrie qui aurait pu résulter de l’opération Mask Slice.
Slice to New Object: Créer un nouvel objet à partir de la géométrie masquée.

Dirty Mask

Reférence

Mode: Sculpt Mode
Menu: Mask ‣ Dirty Mask

Generates a mask based on the geometry cavity and pointiness.

Random Mask

Reférence

Mode: Sculpt Mode
Menu: Mask ‣ Random Mask

Génère un masque avec des valeurs aléatoires pour l’ensemble de l’objet en fonction des différentes données de maillage.

Per Vertex: Attribue une valeur de masque aléatoire à chaque sommet.
Per Face Set: Attribue une valeur de masque aléatoire à chaque Jeu de faces.
Per Loose Mask: Attribue une valeur de masque aléatoire à chaque partie disjointe du maillage.

Paramètres d’affichage

Reférence

Mode: Sculpt Mode
Popover: Viewport Overlays – Sculpt ‣ Mask

L’affichage du masque peut être basculé sous forme de viewport overlay. Dans le calque popover, l’opacité de la superposition de masque peut être ajustée pour la rendre plus ou moins visible sur le maillage.

Clear Sculpt-Mask Data

Reférence

Mode: Object/Edit Mode
Menu: Properties ‣ Object Data ‣ Geometry Data ‣ Clear Sculpt-Mask Data

Libère complètement le calque de données de masque du maillage. Bien que ce ne soit pas un avantage énorme, cela peut accélérer la sculpture si le masque n’est plus utilisé.
