  • Shatter not covering up image behind it.

    Posted by David Brandon on October 4, 2007 at 7:06 pm

    I am trying to shatter a black image in front of a logo and cannot seem to get it to work right. I am trying to use a mask, and maybe I still do not understand how that works but I cannot get a solid black shatter in front of the image. I do get a wireframe shatter, but no color that hides the image behind. Please help!

    Sounds like you have that first parameter of Shatter, “View” set to Wireframe and Forces, the default. It’s needs to be “Rendered” to see the results.

    I think it was setup that way because when it first came out most PC’s didn’t have the umphfffa! to crank out the rendered view quickly. Not a big problem now a days.

    That was it. I know it was probably something really simple that I was overlooking. Thanks.
