Sculpt masking calls for testers!

Sculpt masking in Blender (call for testing) http://nicholasbishop.net/wordpress/?p=44 #b3d

Good :slight_smile:

nice news :slight_smile:

fantastic, itā€™s a great feature and it is nice to see that sculpt mode getā€™s some love again (today i realized that in current builds the flat shading in sculpt mode is fixed).

here is a sculpt masking build for linux 32bit @graphicall.org

Awesome. Canā€™t wait for a Windows build. I bet one will appear by the time Iā€™ve finished my tea :smiley:

coming to my windows builds tomorrow (if Allah wishes) :slight_smile:

Here are my win builds.

Win32
Win64

Pff. What took you so long? My teaā€™s gone cold!

(Just kidding. Thanks a lot for the builds! :smiley: )

Tried Demohero Win64 Build Works as Advertizedā€¦ Howeverā€¦

I have some suggestionsā€¦

should be allowed to ā€œInvertā€ masks
this would be awesome, like for instance in Sculptris if you mask the eye area
then press ctrl+i it will swap the masked area and everything except the eyes will be masked etcā€¦
thus allowing you to hollow out the eyesā€¦ quicklyā€¦
(same can be dome for the mouth etcā€¦ )
make the area you want to work inā€¦ , (invert mask) then dig hole :wink:

Also, should be button to clear masks.
maybe also have a section to save selection masksā€¦

Like if you mask the ear area and you are done with it you could save that selection and clear itā€¦
saving it would let you go back to it quickly, while still letting you work on other selection masksā€¦

same for the eye selection, etc. .

should be allowed to ā€œInvertā€ masks

At the bottom of the 3d view is a menu called ā€œmaskā€, there are options for invert, clear, ā€¦ the mask selection.

It crashes for me if I set the brush mode to Drag Dot or Anchored.

you gotta be kidding meā€¦ iā€™ll take another lookā€¦ :spin:

Perhaps mask inverting could have a hotkeyā€¦ Like the well known Ctrl+I.

Ahhh!! Invert IS there! it is on the 3D Panel right next to ā€œsculpt modeā€ (it should be in a different spot and should have a hotkey IMHO)

Questionā€¦

I ā€œfilled maskā€ erased a little bit of the maskā€¦

then pressed ā€œHide Unmaskedā€ it hide the areas of the mask that i erasedā€¦

My Questionā€¦ How do i unhide them to reshow them?
Did it delete them? Lol?? hmmmā€¦

holyenigma: Alt-H

sheesh you guys know all the answersā€¦ time to try itā€¦ :stuck_out_tongue:

edit yep it(Alt+H) works.

heck he should just put a ā€œShow unmaskedā€ button in that menu as well,
or make the one button a hide/show

I think Hide Masked and an Invert shortcut would be more comfortable to use. After youā€™ve hidden what you donā€™t need you naturally want to work on what is left.

Fantastic, mask is back! Thank you very much.

I can confirm crash when using Mask brush with ā€˜drag dotā€™ or ā€˜anchoredā€™
Windows 7 64 bit

Demohero, thank you for the win builds.
If itā€™s not too much troubleā€Ž, could you please reupload the win32 version?
Because when downloading itā€™s the win64 version.

It seems I uploaded win64 both. Link fixed. :yes:

Win32
