Using texture map to make a controlled mask?

[system]

Hi everyone!

I wonder if it is possible to make a “Mask” in Zbrush through paint a “Mask” in a texture map in photoshop with help of UV grid?
I hope someone can help me here or show me to a tutorial how to make it.:rolleyes:

You maybe wonder why I want that. (See the picture to understand my situation)
It is because I find it difficult to make a controlled masking on this ammo ramp in Zbrush. And I have already UV mapped this thing, so that’s why I thinking how about to paint the mask in Photoshop and that project that mask to the ammo ramp through texture map.

Hope on answer, and thanks!

Regards,
Mattias.

Easy. Check the Tool>Masking menu. You’ll find options to mask by Hue, Intensity or Saturation. These use the values of your currently applied texture (or polypaint).
