#### Process shots :arkio_retro_red:

Here is some follow up shots from the modeling of this MR sketch 🏗

#### Masking around ✒

One thing I thought I would highlight is how I was using passthrough material as a mask for the trees. In the first image you see I’m creating a void in the roof to not obstruct the existing tree, but because the tree is part of my context it will be overlapped by any geometry seen in Arkio. Unless you tap into the powers of [passthrough materials](https://support.arkio.is/hc/en-us/articles/7187427474205-Working-in-Mixed-Reality)!

In the second and third images you can see this material in action. I’m using a simple box geometry that covers the bounds of the tree trunk, which you can see because of the passthrough material being applied to the box. When you use a passthrough material it will mask out all of the geometry in your scene so you can see your passthrough camera view of that area. I use this pretty often when I model in MR, it reminds me a bit of masking in photoshop but in 3d.
