Some (Masking?) questions

YoungApprentice · Post by **YoungApprentice** » Fri May 28, 2010 11:59 pm

hey, all! I am new here, and am working on a dora spoof. Anyways, there are 3 things I would like to learn here.

1. When one of the sleeves of the shirt overlaps the shirt, the area of overlapping becomes transparent. How do I fix this?

2. I would like it so that when I pull down the boundaries of the white part of the eyeball, any part of the iris outside of the white would not be visible. I would assume this could be achieved via masking.

3. Any suggestions on how to do a full-body turn? Would I have to make a big switch layer?

I have Anime Studio 5

Welcome! This is the eye masking set up that I use and it sounds like it's what you're looking for, too.

full body turn is a big subject with a lot of possible solutions, just look around on various techniques.

The other two issues dont need masking - you just have to create two fills so that one is above the other... the transparency thing only happens when a shape with a single fill overlaps itself...

so on the shirt, add a line that seperates the sleeve. Delete all colour fills. Fill the shirt body, then fill the shirt sleeve - you might have to hide the line that seperates the two shapes using the 'h' key tool. Now when the sleeve overlaps the shirt it will be over it.

The eye question is similar but more complicated - i already explained it here so check it out. viewtopic.php?t=8934&highlight=

Good luck!

Darn. I don't think Anime Studio 5 supports group layers....

A bone layer is just a Group layer with bones

Jajaja, a mí también me sorprendió mucho! Pero como por otra parte me hizo bastante gracia enseguida se lo perdoné, cosa que selgRin nuca haría

PS: Ohhh, the always funny thing of mixing different forum anecdotes... sorry, but the off-topic resulted unavoidable
