Behind the scenes: Smart Masks in Mari 7.1

Find out about the creation of Smart Masks in the new Mari 7.1 release, and how they can add life to your textures.
Stuart Ansley, texturing artist, takes us through an overview of Smart Masks - enhanced procedural masks that can revitalise your textures. He’ll outline the entire production process, including taking and editing photos, and ensuring that high quality grunge maps can be made for the Masks. Stuart will outline the construction and inner workings of the nodes, showing how each piece is connected and adds to the final output. Learn how to put the Masks and utility nodes into use and tweak existing Masks to create the best effect. What’s more, Mari Product Manager Charli Holt will give an overview of the new updates in Mari 7.1 where you can try out Stuart's Smart Masks for yourself.

Very cool stuff! Haven't used Mari since v4, but this is really making me want to go back to it! I'm a houdni geek as well, so I love the node everything workflow! Thank you for the beautiful presentation Stuart as well, very informative and comprehensive tutorial and demonstration
