Extrude Texture intensity in Different masks

This is what I’ve been able to find within about 10 minutes of experimenting…



There are Artifacts with the IF method, as you can see in the earlier screenshots, so I’m still working on it. If I decrease the threshold, the artifacts start to vanish for the far ends but the quality of the goal start is get pretty rough.
See the much lower threshold below for the 0.5
