There are other ways involving Zplugin Projection Master and even polypainting which allow you to choose "Line" from your stroke type palette which then you can create a nice straight line at whatever angle using poly paint, then under Masking you can create a mask from polypaint after you've got your diamond pattern polypainted in. This would give you a perfect and sharp as hell mask in that pattern that your new sliced up geometry would support or you could make a super clean extraction from or maybe not even need a mask if your goal is something like a qmesh extrusion in a diamond pattern or whatever. Next step would be to hold spacebar while in zmodeler brush and while hovering over a face (of the polygroup you just created of the diamond pattern) choose "Mask" on the top section of the menu and on the bottom which is your target choose polygroup all. If you're working on low poly and still want a super clean mask for an extract or something you can use the Slice Curve brush to slice up your mesh into perfect diamonds just going back and forth across it in diagonals, then go into zmodeler and create polygroups out of the polys that form the diamond pattern. Grab a diamond alpha from the internet by image search and load that up in your alpha palette as the alpha of your mask rect brush and drag out the mask, which will have the diamond pattern applied already. Couple of ways to do this the fastest of which would be alpha masking. ![]()
