# Blender - ID Mask Tools
|
|
|
|
A set of tools to quickly create ID masks for meshes.
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
|
|
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.
