"Request" Masking Array Script/Addon

Howdy,

im wondering if its already possible and if not if its possible to write something to get an “Array” option including spline control for masking. lets say you wanna have some spots, different sizes or same in a row based on a curve.
good for hard surface stuff you can do now in zb4. doing it by hand wont look accurate.

thx in advance

I can’t think of a way to script this but a certain amount is possible already. You can use the Stroke SnapToTrack and Path options. For example:

  1. Hold Ctrl and select an alpha.
  2. Hold Ctrl and in the Stroke palette:
    *Turn on Roll and set Roll Dist to 1
    *Turn on Backtrack, SnapToTrack and Path.

If you now hold Ctrl and draw a curve you will be able to backtrack along it and draw a mask with the alpha repeated along the curve.

You can also use radial symmetry with masking to repeat a mask radially.
