Flame 2011 Garbage mask with hole

[Anonymous]

Hello,

As in the User manual it is written;

Any holes in the imported garbage mask are also holes in the 3D geometry.

So I understand that it is possible to create a garbage mask with a hole on flame in the GMask node.

If yes, could please someone give me a clue how to do so?

Thanks very much,

Thomas

What if you just draw an other garbage mask with color down to 0 (black)?

i couldn’t figure that out as well…

As far as I was aware this was not possible to do when importing in Gmasks as geometry.

What page is it written in the manual so I can have a look as well?

Many thanks!

Regards

I wrote a tip that would allow you to, in certain contexts, cheat this look into working over on the Area. I should re-write it for multi-outs in 2011, because it’s so much simpler now.

When you create a garbage mask with a spline crossing over itself, the areas which are black appear as “holes” when imported as 3D geometry. Simply creating another mask which is black will not work, as this geometry gets imported as a second solid.
