Layers¶
Layer Transparency¶
Each layer has transparency. Just like in image editing, you most probably want upper layers to be "seen through", so that lower layers can be uncovered where needed.
To make a vertex "transparent" in a layer, you can do three things:
- Paint weights on the vertex so that the sum of all weights is below 1.0.
- Use Layer Masks.
- Adjust overall layer opacity in layer properties (see UI for details)
While for a quick result, option 1 might seam feasible, a much more reliable way of controlling layer transparency is via mask.
You might have noticed that a first item in "influences" list is [Layer Mask]
. It is a multiplier for the whole layer.
