White outlines

[danielandrus]

I'm sure this issue has most likely been talked about already. But after searching for a while i couldn't find a thread addressing it.

Here's an image that explains the outline issue. i'm using a mask so the shirt detail doesn't spill outside the torso. I've encountered this problem several times before. all when using masks. Any ideas?

Instead of hiding the outline (looks like with point width...maybe including exclude stroke on the mask), you may want to make the torso mask a fill-only shape and reference that layer to use as a stroke-only shape above all the masked-in details.

Or I can take a look at the file.

I tried a bunch of different things and couldn't sort it out. I sent you the file through PM to see if maybe you can help. Thanks

I've sent you the fixed file, and it was a little more involved than I described above.

I made a reference of the torso layer and moved it about the torso details. I removed the strokes from the shapes of the torso layer and made the reference shapes stroke-only (and deleted a few of the referenced neck shapes). The step I missed before was to remove the "exclude strokes" from the torso mask (which with the point-width-hidden stroke is what caused the white lines).

I think I left the torso reference as "add to mask", but you can change that to "don't mask" if you like.

The same thing had been happening to me when I opened up anime studio today, it looks good in the workspace but when I render it out those weird outlines occur.

I tried using the reference layer trick to get around it, but nothing works?

There's always a solution, even if nothing you've tried has worked.

Actually, someone else helped me out

Here's what I did :

1.In the mask layer, it should be fill only.
2. Make a reference layer of the mask, containing only the strokes
3. Put the stroke-only layer on top of mask

Done!

Yeah, that was me, on the AF. You don't need the stroke-only reference outside of the mask group. It just needs to be the top layer in that group, and set to "don't mask this layer".
