Complex mask example

[heyvern]

Well... it may not seem that complex... but still...

It is a quick thing I put together to show how I poured paint over a guy.

I included the bone mastering scripts in the zip file. I use it for the paint drips.

In order to get the stroke on the edge of the paint I needed two layers... a paint mask layer and a paint stroke layer. I hated constantly copying and pasting the point motion of the paint on the two layers so I used bones.

Note on the paint bone layers... the bone layers have the masking set to work with the other layers. The actual vector layer inside is left at the default settings... "mask this layer".

p.s. This was not the final project. I put this together as a test file before doing the real one... I can't show the real one yet.
