Layer Mask - Group Mask

[vladimir.nedev]

The layer mask is basically a texture for the opacity of an "effect". The bump effect doesn't work with opacity at all at the moment,
so when I fix this, layer masks on a bump effect should be fixed too.

For the second issue, can you attach the scene so I can take a better look ?

Thank you for the answer Vladimir. It's really frustrating that the bump effect doesn't work with opacity, will it be available in the next build ?

You'll find the scene attached.

About the bump effect not working with opacity/layer masks. You can easily fix it by adding a "constant" texture below all bump layers, setting its effect to "bump" and its "value" to 0.0.
This is basically the same thing I need to add in the code. (The bump effect actually works with opacity/layer masks, it just doesn't work for the first bump layer above a material).

So this will be fixed in the nightly build from 2015-02-05 (and the next open beta build - 3.00.05).
The opacity/layer mask of texture layers that have their effect set to one of [bump, normal, stencil, displacement] will now work,
even when the texture layer is the first with that effect above a material item.

I still need to look at the second issue with the layer masks and blending modes though.

Ok, thank you for the explanations. I will try the hack with the constant texture until the release of the next beta build.
