Masking Thin and Bleed Through

ZBrush Artworks
#1

Hi, I have a question about something I have been struggling with for some time.
When I try to use the mask pen on something that is fairly thin is bleeds through to the other side. Tried Backface masking to no avail

Is there some way to keep this from happening ?

Thanks

BackfaceMask only works with Dots, DragRect and FreeHand strokes. For the rest, you will have to hide the back side. This can be easily done with Polygroups. If you go to ‘Tool > Polygroups’ you can use ‘Group Front’ to group the camera view then just Ctrl+Shift+Click on that group to hide the back.

Thanks !
Will give that a go

Backface masking works as Zber described, and most effectively on meshes with thickness. For thin meshes, the polygroups method is the way to go.
