This will be less confusing and disconnected if both the selection in Edit Mode and the mask in Sculpt/Paint Mode are areas you CAN affect. So if a selection is made in Edit Mode it will also appear as masked in Sculpt/Paint Mode (This would likely be a direct conversion every time you switch modes) Syncing Selections across Modesįor the implementation of Paint Mode it will be very beneficial to start syncing selections between various modes. But this leads to using Invert on the mask potentially hundreds of times per day. Masking is very much designed with this workflow in mind. In a lot of cases the areas you mask are the ones you DO want to edit.

An Inverted WorkflowĪ typical workflow issue when using masks is that users mask a section of their mesh and then invert the mask. There are a few different issues that exist the with current way of how masks work. Current = Masked vertices cannot be edited Proposed = Masks & Selections are the same -> They can be edited. It outlines the possibility to invert the behavior & visualization of masks. This is a design related to the implementation of Paint Mode.
