Hi,
I have a large rock which I want to quickly draw some polygroups on by quickly lasso masking need areas for later Zremesh. The problem is when I draw a mask with Lasso tool - it’s being transferred onto opposite side of surface. Any way to turn it off so it masks only visible surface? Thanks in advance!
Try looking under masking?
Emm, nope, didn’t find anything relevant… Am I missing it?
There’s backface masking (in Brush>AutoMasking) if you use the MaskPen but it doesn’t work with the Lasso. So you will need to hide the back face. The simplest way to do that is to use Tool>Polygroups>Group Front and then Shift+Ctrl+click the front polygroup. If you can’t do that because it will destroy polygroups you want to keep you will have to hold Shift+Ctrl and use the selection brushes (such a Select Lasso) to select and hide the back.
Paint different areas(you can even sculpt at the same time!), then group from polypaint.
