Note:
1. Texture image settings:
- 4096 * 4096 (High Resolution)
- Colour (White = 1, Alpha = 0)
2. Nodes connection order matters
- Top: Procedure Material - 1
- Bottom: Stancil texture - 2
- Alpha connects to Factor
Connect the Stencil texture / PSG to the [bottom] to Mix Shader Node, else the effect will not appear correctly
