GlennimusPrime Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Is there a way to create a viewport mask object, just for quick flipbooking of objects going behind another object? Say if I had real footage of a tree trunk in my background camera plate - I want to flipbook an object going behind this tree.. Can I use a cylinder in place of the tree trunk and set this object to be invisible in the viewport, but also hide whatever passes behind it? Dare I say it.. Like Maya's `use background` viewport shader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atom Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) There is a viewer foreground image you can specify. Perhaps if you supplied a simple cutout of your tree with an alpha it might work..? Edited September 8, 2022 by Atom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennimusPrime Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 Thanks for this tip @Atom! Definitely handy for certain situations, although I was hoping to use an animated or moving 3D object in the scene for the matte blocker. I'm not sure this functionality exists.
