Quick Mask Documentation

Overview

Quick Mask is a workflow utility for Blender that lets you instantly insert procedural noise, grunge, and pattern masks directly into your active Shader Editor node setup.

System Requirements

• Blender Version: 4.0 or newer (built natively for Blender 4.2+ Extensions system).

• Render Engines: Compatible with both Cycles and EEVEE.

Setup & Workflow Guide

1. Accessing the Panel: Open the Shader Editor window and press N to open the sidebar. Click on the Quick Mask tab.

2. Browsing Masks: Scroll through the icon grid to preview available procedural masks.

3. Appending Nodes: Select an active material on your object, pick a mask from the browser, and click Add Shader. The node group will spawn at your cursor position with clean display settings applied automatically.
