    Hi all i am learning about bodypaint and uv editing at the moment.
    Is it possible to paint selected polygons in body paint ie select area around eye or select the lips and use paint bucket to fill selected area without going through the whole set selection process. I have tried it with the polyline selection tool but i cant get the sharp edges i can get by using the set selection tool. I hope ive explained myself properly.
    thanks Emmet

    What you can do is select the UV polygons you want to paint on and then choose Select>Create Mask From Selection.

    I found that working with selection tags saves the day here. Just hide what you wanna protect!

    done!

    seeya.
