Previous versions

Update supports only the latest version.

Menu

• 3d view → Side Bar (N key) → Sculpt → “Mask Tools”

Function

Save / load mask

• Save Mask to Vertex group
  • Save mask as vertex group

Dirty mask function

Added repetitive processing and fine-tuning functions to the “Dirty Mask” function added in Blender 2.81.
By dragging each repeat value, you can strongly reflect operations that are difficult to achieve at one time.
For example, a dirty mask 1, several times of contrast, and fine adjustment of the stretch can mask the groove part deeply.

• Smooth / Sharp / Contrast / Stretch / Shrink

• Modifier Displace

  • Add a displacement modifier to the mask
  • Apply as soon as the check is valid

• Modifier Smooth

  • Add a smooth modifier to the mask
  • Apply as soon as the check is valid

• Delete

  • Dissolve the mask part
  • Note that if there are too many vertices or the selection is complex, it will fail.

• Duplicate

  • Duplicate the mask part

• Separate

  • Separate the mask part

• Exturde

  • Extrude the mask part
  • When the curve button is enabled, the polygon outline is smoothed and pushed out.

History

This add-on is the version that I updated the Blender 2.80, 2.81 add-on created by yii7 and added improvements and functions.

Until it was implemented in Blender 2.81, it was an add-on that could be blurred / sharpened / fat / shrinked.

Old Thread (Blender2.79)

Mask Tools

Blender currently lacks the functionality to save dynatopo sculpt masks. Even though this can be done with a hacky method its confusing for most. This add-on allows saving masks as vertexgroups and coverting vertex groups to masks. Thanks to Psy-fi for his hint on bpy api. Thanks to Stan Pancakes for Cutom Data Layer Access patch. Thanks to Ideasman42 for review / patch commit. [image] [image] Mask Tools : Mask Tools v.035 Update 07 / 14 / 2015 : Uploaded v.035 — v.035 Update Log — …

Dirty mask function added

Added repetitive processing and fine-tuning functions to the “Dirty Mask” function added in Blender 2.81.
By dragging each repeat value, you can strongly reflect operations that are difficult to achieve at one time.
For example, a dirty mask 1, several times of contrast, and fine adjustment of the stretch can mask the groove part deeply.

Hi @Bookyakuno Thanks so much for updating this addon and fixing things as well as adding new stuff to it.
Any chance you could update it for 4.0?

[Bookyakuno]

I will try to support this addon to the latest stable version of Blender as much as possible (maybe only passive bugfixes).
Blender4.0 is still alpha and not supported.

[melvi]

Ok. Thanks.
