With the Mask map, you can view one material

through another on the surface. The mask controls

where a second map is applied to the surface.

By default, lighter (whiter) areas of the mask

are opaque, showing the map. Darker (blacker)

areas of the mask are transparent, showing the

underlying material. You can use Invert Mask to

reverse the mask’s effect.
