Creating a Random Moving Mask Shape…? (or something like that)
Basically, if it was possible, I’d like to create a mask shape with 6 sides and then “wiggle” the points position to my customization. Yet I know controlling points directly with an expression is impossible (?), but generally I want that type of control. I tried it with Bezier warp, but it actually warps it and I would like it to retain the hard corners like moving mask points does…does anyone know what combination of effects could get me close to figuring this problem out?
(ps: a bunch of nulls with the Beam effect will not do as well, because I need the middle of the shape filled)

Subject: Re: 4 free point mask toolI made a script that puts a tracker data into a mask vertex, check it out here:

And this from crgreen:

Connect_Vertex_to_Point.jsx
Allows the animation of individual mask vertices by “linking” a vertex to any two-dimensional point property
(like position, track point attach point, “point” expression control, etc).Name: thehardmenpath

You’d have to create your wiggly data first, then you could apply it to your mask via his script. I haven’t done this but it should work and you should have enough info to figure it out or to do a better advanced search.
