Face Mask
Face Mask allows you to create 2D face painting effects on different regions of the face using a mesh. You can then import external 2D texture assets to layer them on to your mesh.
Quick start
Adding a Face Mask
You can add a Face Mask object by clicking + Add object > Face Effects > Face Mask in the Hierarchy panel.
Make any changes to the Face Mask object by opening the Inspector panel. By default, the Face Region will be Whole. You can make any changes to the Texture, Opacity, Blend Mode, and more under the Face Mask properties.

- Color: Use this property to determine the color that will blend with the texture.
Opacity: This slider will set the transparency of the texture. 0 is invisible, 1 will be a solid color.
Blend Mode: This property determines the blend mode. Choose from the different modes from the dropdown menu to determine different calculations used to blend color and texture (for example, multiply, overlay, add, etc.).
