  Image mask only shows black and white

  Posted by Aliya Al-hassan on October 20, 2010 at 1:04 pm

  Hi there,
  I am trying to put a particle emitter (reflection) into an image mask so that it shows up behind the text.

  No matter what i do, i can’t seem to see the colours of the mask source through the text.

  Can you give me any suggestions as to what to check/change? I have done this before with no problems.

  many thanks
  aliya x

  If you are seeing everything but it is in black and white that is because the image mask is on the wrong layer. The image mask needs to be on the group that has the particles, not the white text. Take a look at this link to a video tutorial on creating a hologram. The middle of the tutorial covers image masks. Best of luck.
