Masking needs to be improved on certan models#594

Certain models have masking that is rather uncomfortable to paint with or inconsistent and leads to a lot of accidents.

For example, Shrapnel:

• Their hair and part of their shorts masked into the big rope around their shoulder
• The shotgun shells on the ammo canister are not a separate mask, making it hard to paint them without painting on the internal walls of the ammo canister
• The top and bottom (fluffy) half of their tail are masked together making it very easy to accidentally paint over the other side by accident
• The gloves are masked to the arm
• The boots are masked to the pants

Switchback:

• The pilot’s jacket arms are masked to the gunners skin instead of the rest of the jacket
• The gunner’s tongue is masked to their skin
• The pilot’s eyes are a separate mask whereas the gunner’s are not
• The pilot’s nails are a separate mask whereas the gunner’s are not

Compare this to a model like Astra, where everything is masked in a logical, consistent fashion: Feathers, cloth, armor, skin, and other metallic bits are all in their own masks, separated further in certain areas to avoid accidentally painting over.

Adoring the painting system so far, but tweaking the masks a little would make things a lot more convenient.

I totally agree

On Maximus his gloves and his guns are in the same group but for the 2 cost lady that grants Rapidfire the gun is separate from her glove. It is the same gun model for both of them.

I’ve been painting Astra right now, and I feel like there are some sections that need better masking. i.e., the ‘skin/flesh’ has the same masking as the ‘mouth’. If I wanna paint the interior of the mouth pink, I might accidentally bleed over back to the ‘jaw’ or ‘lips’.
