MASKS
3DCoat has implemented layer and clipping masks with a similar workflow to Photoshop. This level of non-destructive texturing helps further streamline artists’ workflows. Adopting Photoshop-like tools is a good way to go because of users’ familiarity with its options, and means they can get up and running quicker. These mask tools work with Vertex Paint, Vertexture (Factures) and Voxel Paint.
