Ephemerally Occluded Parts – How to Mask Them?
As the per title – I have an arm sorta wiping across the upper part of the body and face – see animation
1) Should I move away entire masks (or a subset of its vertices) away from the animating arm?
I asked earlier about a Render Hierarchy within Reflex but was told that it doesn’t exist – me thinks something similar to a Hold Out Track Layer (ala mocha) or a Hold Out Matte thingy will be good. BUTT for now, is there a definitve, best way in dealing with such an issue?
And sorry for a silly Q BUTT where is my installed Documentation – can’t seem to find it – sorry been awake for too long.
Cheers!

1) For the manual:

Ah! Noted!!! Pierre, I’ve only vaguely looked/read the doc on working with a separate layer – will look into it as soon as I can. From my vague memory, I’ll have to roto out the hand in both shots – correct?
I’m still thinking a top-down (mask Timeline hierarchy) hierarchy might be a better/elegant solution.

Thanks for the link Pierre. I’ve also managed to create the morph without separating to layers. Simply masking the various facial features and outline did the trick.
