Thanks Slowtiger,
I really had labored over the mask settings and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. You encouraged me to look again and I still don't know what the problem with my settings was, but now it is working.

Hello, Here I have a demo of an underwater shot of someone drowning. http://youtu.be/t4XoDUE7IYY I'm using a particle layer to make the bubbles and can't figure out how to make them disappear as they break the surface of the water.

Thanks you guys! Very nice you all took the time to watch and the positive remarks are very encouraging as I start my next project!

I am using the image texture effect for the filling of my shapes but none of the them have the 'don't repeat' box checked. For good measure I tried checking the 'don't repeat' box on all the shapes in the char...

I'm not bending the shapes with the bones, just moving them around. look at this grab of the cat's back where the effect is much more pronounced on frame one before anything has even been moved. http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/7527/z8.png i...

I hope this is right board for asking for help, i saw other questions here... Anyway, I created a character and used image texture as the fill for all the parts.
