Re: Mask points

Oh lordy! This might be something I've been looking for although from the other way round. I'm just following through on all of your suggestions Mike so in the meantime I might stumble upon a solution but...

I've got a three pointed mask/path I'm using to make an arm on a character (it is then 'stroked' to make a solid arm) and I'm trying to find a way where I can take the information from the three vertices (which are basically the hand, elbow and shoulder) and use that information to be able to automatically position a texture which I then use 'underneath' and revealed by the stroked arm....

Shall explore and experiment although this is literally the first time I have used expressions or presets!!!

Thanks for the useful information!

Jim
