    Thanks for height field Tutorial.
    Just got a question...
    Is there a way that I can combine multiple masks?
    ex> I want to merge two masks created by slope and by draw. You know, just like merge nodes.

      Hey, that is definitely possible.
      You can use a heightfield layer and set the affected layers to only be masks or, you can use a volume wrangle.
      With the "volumesample" function you can reference the second input to perform a certain operation on the masks.
      Hope that helps!
