Is it possible to edit/select faces with an inputted matte(texture). I'm basically following a tut dealing with max and the 'vol select' and wondered if there is a similar function in maya. I have tried searching the forums but without much look.

i am aware of the maya feature that allows one to create geometry from vector images but it is through bitmap images i want to model from.

Thanks
