# Blender - Bake ID Mask Plugin
|
||||
# Blender - ID Mask Tools
|
||||
|
||||
A plugin to quickly bake ID masks for meshes from/to different sources and targets.
|
||||
A set of tools to quickly create ID masks for meshes.
|
||||
|
||||
### Currently supported:
|
||||
Sources:
|
||||
- Material Index
|
||||
### What is this?
|
||||
For usage in specific programs like Substance Painter, its useful to create a mask for specific parts for your mesh, so you can easily make out parts of the mesh, to f.E. apply a mterial.
|
||||
You can specify colors in color attributes that define "IDs" for specific parts of the mesh, which you can then use in different programs.
|
||||
|
||||
Targets:
|
||||
- Vertex Color
|
||||
Currently this workflow requires you to assign them tediously by using a mixture of Edit Mode and Vertex Paint to paint the mesh correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
This plugin tries to fix that, by providing proper tools for it. The most important is probably the [ID Mask Editor](docu/features/id_mask_editor.md), that allows you to quickly add IDs to faces all within the Edit Mode.
|
||||
|
||||

||||

4. After selecting it, just enable it and done.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
You find the tool in the panel on the right of the "3D Viewport" under "Tool".
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
How to use properly it, highly depends on the selected source.
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage - Material Index Source
|
||||
Here the IDs are given based on the object and its material indices.
|
||||
|
||||
Lets say, you have 10 objects and each has 2 materials attached to it. Then the amount of IDs given is 20, since each object contains the two material indecies.
|
||||
Check out the [Features](docu/features.md) page to find more specific information about the usage of each feature.
