3D Mask

3D Mask  -  3D masks enable selecting 3D vertices based on their different attributes such as position, color and texture coordinate.

Such 3D masks can be applied to any 3D Modifier to modulate its application on a per-vertex basis. 3D masks can also be applied to Surface renderer components in order to modify their opacity. There is also a way of using Image Layer or Video File as a way to mask a modifier/component according to the UV map of its generator.

Type of Masks

Here is a review of 3D Masks applied on a Displace modifier applied on a 3D Layer Box:

• Random
• Linear
• Sphere
• Noise 2D
• Noise 3D
• Radius Texture Coordinates
• Horizontal Texture coordinates
• Angle Texture coordinates
• Vertical Texture coordinates

Here is a review of 3D masks applied on a white Diffuse surface component over a black Diffuse surface component on a 3D Layer Geosphere. And, yes, there is also a system of particles.

• Depth
• Normal
• Fresnel
• Layer Mask
• Age applied on the Opacity modifier over a Particle Emitter
• Velocity applied over a Particle Emitter with a Friction Field
