Preview Mode¶

Preview Mode is used to isolate and directly view individual layers, layer alphas, final channel outputs, or specific mask/data without interference from scene lighting.

Channel Preview Mode¶

The option Channel in preview mode will output the entire selected channel output of the channel

Layer Preview Mode¶

The option Layer in preview mode lets you see only a single layer that uses the selected channel. If the layer doesn't use the selected channel or if it's disabled, it will show you a pink grid material.

Layer Alpha Preview Mode¶

The option Layer Alpha in preview mode is to see only the alpha value of the single layer that uses the selected channel.

Active Data/Mask Preview Mode¶

The option Active Mask/Data in preview mode is used to see the selected active data/mask.

Normal space in preview mode¶

If normal channel is selected, there will be an option to change the space. By default it uses View Space since it's the one that the most helpful to check the surface of the object. You can also choose to use World Space or Object Space, these options are helpful for painting custom normals. (TODO: Demo Needed)
