How to use an existing texture as mask

[philippeflorent]

Hi

I checked the doc and I believe armorpaint cannot do that

I just need a texture I have to be used as a mask for layer 2

• I tried selecting my texture and click "to mask" having my mask selected
• I tried changing the mask to fill mask and to paint mask but they don't use my texture to mask layer 2

I expect the mask to be like in blender (on the right)

Thanks for your help

nobody ? that is really an important feature for me, so far I draw these maps in blender and use them ask material layer masks

would be great to be able to do that in AP

I think the issue is that the layer masks in AP are grayscale and for RGB images it just takes the red channel. How are you expecting it to work - should the RGB image be converted to grayscale or are you masking each channel separately?

I use the green channel in unreal, makes sense that AP uses r by default
the idea is to use r, g and b for different material layers. I used green for the moss as it was more intuitive
