Particular and masking
Hi there,
I have a smoke effect for a chimney that works nicely, but I need to matte out the bottom emitter portion so that the smoke looks like it is coming out of the chimney. I tried creating a mask along the chimney front edge to block out the emitter, but it won’t take. Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks!

make a solid layer or use your chimney layer as “obscuration layer” und visibility section of particular. the drawback here is that only 1bit alpha channels are support. hard edges may appear. these layers need to be 3d.
you can also precompose your particular layer and add the mask afterwards. but nor real 3d obscuration with this technique.
good luck,

Thanks for your help. I realized that I had set the smoke up on an adjustment layer. Smack me in the head!
