Thanks for the update, If you are planing to keep developing this, there’s sculpt magic tools based on join this addon with the sculpt tools and add some extra functions to both, I think they are not supported anymore .
I do not use those two addons, so I will not update to Blender 2.8.
But, I am considering implementing functions that are convenient for this add-on.
- Mask Extract
- Mask Delete
- Mask Separate
- Mask Lattice

An excellent addon, the latest improvements make it super useful.
Just a couple details, Dyntopo is disconnected with almost any action, and I can not see what Mask Sharp (Thick) does.
Thanks you.
Thank Bookyankuno. A great contribution to Blender. A facilitator in the sculptures. It would be great to have these two addons added to the Blender trunk.
Description of the function I added
Utilizing the existing vertex preservation function of this add-on,
This is a function that sets the weight paint operation as a macro.
Mask Blur
Blur the mask.
Intensity can be set.
It is necessary to increase the intensity in proportion to the resolution of the mesh.
▼ Process
- Convert mask to vertex group
- Transit to weight paint mode
- Execute weight smooth. Repeat for the set number of times.
- Read vertex group into mask
- Delete created vertex group
Mask Sharp
Sharpen the contour of the mask.
Shape only the thick part of the mask.
▼ Process
- Convert mask to vertex group
- Transit to weight paint mode
- Execute weight level
- Read vertex group into mask
- Delete created vertex group
Mask Sharp (thick)
Sharpen the contour of the mask.
Sharpen the part masked even a little.
It becomes thicker than “Mask Sharp”.
Mask Fat
Extend the mask.
Intensity can be set.
▼ Process
- Convert mask to vertex group
- Transit to weight paint mode
- Execute weight smooth. Repeat for the set number of times.
- Execute weight level
- Read vertex group into mask
- Delete created vertex group
Mask Less
Reduce the mask.
Intensity can be set.
▼ Process
(Temporarily reversing the mask and performing the same processing as Mask Fat processing)
- Flip mask
- Convert mask to vertex group
- Transit to weight paint mode
- Execute weight smooth. Repeat for the set number of times.
- Execute weight level
- Read vertex group into mask
- Delete created vertex group
- Flip mask

Mask Tools ver 0,37,0 Update
- Add shortcut. (Mouse double click + modifier key)
- Addition of polygon removal at mask place added
I hope to operate mask operation as much as possible by clicking.
It is because operation at the pen tab becomes smooth.

Thanks for updating this tool in Blender 2.8. Is extrude tool working for you? It doesn’t work here 
I’m sorry.
There was no description on this.

Thanks, it did work 
A very useful add-on, @anon92502066 and @Bookyakuno , many thanks for sharing this with the Blender community, much appreciated. 
Enjoying Mask Tools. A few suggestions:
-
It’d be great if the Mask Tools Smooth modifier could also be applied to an unmasked mesh.
-
I’d love to see a function that fills a mask outline, so you’d only need to draw the border of a mask area, then fill the inside.
Thanks!

Never mind, I didn’t think of simply pressing Control + I to invert an unmasked mesh to a completely masked mesh. 
But it would be great if there’d be a one-button option for the current process of duplicating a mask to a new object, then selecting the new object and extrude everything with LoopTools Relax, comparable to ZBrush Extract with edge smoothing.
Thanks!
This is an amazing addon. Very helpful. Just a quick note, though. The 2.8 version is causing the Edit Mesh > Duplicate function to no longer work. I’ve looked at the addon settings and don’t see any reason for this. Any thoughts?
You sure it’s not a bug in Blender right now? There’s currently something funny going on with duplicating parented stuff, might be related.
I’m pretty sure it’s the addon. I killed my preferences and the problem went away. Then I went back and restored my prefs. The problem came back. So that told me it was an addon. Then I disabled all addons. The problem went away. So I restarted and turned off each addon one at a time and then tested the duplicate option. Once I disabled this addon, Duplicate mesh worked again. However when I enabl this addon, I lose the duplicate function. So yes. As far as I can tell, this is a problem with the addon and not Blender itself.
Sorry.
This bug is a bug That occurred because it override an existing idname.
It has been fixed
- Mask Tools ver 0, 38, 1 or above (Blender 2.8)
- Mask Tools ver.0.37.0 (Blender 2.79)
change point
- old
- bl_idname = “mesh.duplicate”
- bug fixed
- bl_idname = “mesh.mask_duplicate”
