Layers List

Layer list with masked layers.

In Grease Pencil there are no special mask layers, any layer can act as a mask for other layers. The mask system is flexible enough to allow top-bottom and bottom-top masking.

Layers used as mask can use all the blend modes and different opacity values like any other layer.

Примітка

If you want to make a full transparent masking you will have to set the mask layer(s) opacity to 0.

By activating the mask toggle (mask icon) next to the layer name or using the checkbox on the masks panel header the layer becomes prepared to be masked by other layer(s).

Viewport/Render Visibility (eye icon)
