  Masked Object Changes When Switching to a different view

  Posted by David Hoch on May 29, 2006 at 10:40 pm

  I have created an effect using a mask that puts a video inside of a colored circle (with shading it looks lik a ball). I then created a camera and put both the circle and the video in 3D space and made the circle the parent of the video so when I change the position and size of the circle, the masked video also changes. I set the camera up so that the “video balls” fly past it towards a wall (also in 3D space).

  Up to this point everything is working fine. If, however, I view the animation from either of the custom views or from a new camera (at a angle different from the 1st) the mask on the video does not resize as the size of the circle changes. The two layers (circle and video) still move together, however. If I switch back to camera 1 (the original camera), everything looks fine. What do I need to do in order to view the animation correctly from any camera angle?

  Thanks,

  David
