Fishook example in library under AS 5 content and Techniques

[barryem]

I loaded the Fishook example and I have no idea how it works. I can't find anything in the help or on this forum about it.

It shows a fish hook passing through 2 holes in a plane and being hidden properly by the plane when it's behind it and hiding the plan when it's in front of it. Looking at it from different angles the vectors seem to be in the same plane. I don't get it.

Any explanation or pointer to an explanation will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Barry

i don't exactly know how it works as i am just getting good at the complicated stuff in anime studio. i believe it has to do with shape ordering.

hope that helps

Ok here is what you should try. With the translate point tool move the fish hook away from the plane.

Use the delete shape tool to remove any color fill in both the fish hook and plane.

1)Fill in the fish hook and both sides of the plan. Bring the fish hook back to the plane.

2)Move the fish hook again. Use the delete shape tool to remove any color fills of the fish hook and plane. Fill the back half of the plane first, then the fish hook and finally the front of the plane. Move the fish hook back.

The order in which you make shapes and fill them matter.
