We had a meeting about this. The meeting notes are below. Tasks for the different topics still have to be created.

• Masks should be floats rather than booleans
• Basic masking tools
  • Box mask
  • Circle paint mask
  • Lasso mask
• Curve and point masks could be part of the same tools
• Automatic masking
  • A mask that is generated automatically at the start of a stroke
  • Generating a mask based on the start or end of a curve, or the base
  • Randomly masking curves or points
  • Masks would be multiplied with the explicit mask
• Randomization
  • Use a specific tool/brush to select random, or use an option on the regular masking brush.
  • Probably the latter.
• Synchronizing masks with curves edit mode
  • Ideally selection changes with edit mode would also affect the float masks in sculpt mode.
• Selecting individual curves should be possible
• Masking with "ids"/integers
  • For example, grouping "tufts" or using an integer attribute on the base mesh to group curves.
• Drawing
  • Give curves some thickness to simplify visualizing masks.
  • Need to draw float masks and "curve sets" (integer ids).
• Priorities for implementation
  • Circle paint mask brush: Individual curve selection
  • Lasso mask
  • Randomization for selection brush
