Texture mask image name

This is the name of the image file containing the mask to block out areas not wanted in a photo-texture. 

In a multi-photo-texture, the areas masked in one image will be textured by that same area found in other images, where available. In a single photo-texture, the areas masked will appear grey.  This prevents obstructions or occlusions from appearing in the photo-texture.

If the mask is partial (i.e. pixel values between white and black or 0 and 255), blending will occur.

Note: The masked photo-texture will only take effect in the 3D Viewer and export when Quality textures are enabled.
