Advanced Member David Walters Posted June 9, 2012 Advanced Member Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Hello, I've not posted in this forum for years, it's gone all modern and social media-ified ! Anyway, I'd like to know if it's possible to mask painting to within selection of polygons or triangle edges. I know it has the freeze tools but I can only seem to paint on per-texel which sort of defeats the purpose of my masking requirement. Is there's a "per-triangle" freeze mode / tool I can't see? I'm having to use Blender to paint my textures at the moment because handily this type of masking is pretty much the only one provided! (I'm running the latest 3D-Coat beta v3.7-12D) Regards, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 What you could do is hide the area you don't want to paint on. That should get you a nice clean edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member pavig Posted June 11, 2012 Member Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 In the brushes panel the triangle shaped brush paints polygons. You can use that to freeze the areas around which you are painting, or if you're blocking things out, just paint with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 That's another good option, I always forget about that one. To be clear that's the one accessed with the E key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
