[designjunki]

Adobe need to address this, thats just way 2 complicated for something so simple, your tut is excellent

in 2022 do not working i dont know why. When you projecting with black mask(by greyscale mask), the color (included to projection) in the paint layer is not visible, that is, nothing happens. But will be visible if you paint after black mask.
I mean when you painting at mask you cant see color

[airdrummer]

You can have a color sticker with an alpha and when you paint, the black won't show up.

I am very new to substance painter. But if I would guess, I would try a file type with transparent background first. Would that even work?
