Cookie for lights in AE
Ive been creating 3D animations in AE for a while and I want to make my own Cookie/mask for my lights in AE. Is there a way that I can put a mask in front of my lights or possibly put a digital cookie there in front of my lights?
Could I possibly put a solid in front if it and then mask out parts of the solid? Or could I make the solid in photoshop and bring it in to AE??
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Check out my tutorial on Shadows here at the cow. I discuss making your own digital cookies with a tree branch and how to use it to cast shadows. Let me know if you have any specific questions after reading it.
