Re: extrude spline

Hi,

There is a workaround but it involves using Adobe Illustrator to merge the paths and the BCC Extrude EPS filter instead of the BCC Extrudes Spline filter. Here's how to do it:

• copy the mask paths from After Effects into separate layers in Illustrator - copy/paste should work
• fill the objects with color
• save the file from Illustrator as Illustrator EPS version 8
• in After Effects, replace the BCC Extrude Spline filter with the BCC Extrude EPS filter
• import the saved Illustrator file into the BCC Extrude EPS filter

We have discussed the use of multiple spline masks in AE and I suspect this will become available in a future release of the product but for the time being, the BCC Extrude Spline filter can only extrude one mask path shape.

I hope this helps,

Peter.
