Hi,

i do the compositing outside of AS and i need a mask of my characters that were created in AS.

Is there a way to create a single color (1bit) "silhouette" of an AS-object?

Thanks
Dan

Thanks for your quick answer!

In the compositing tool i need the mask as a single object.
If i export the alpha channel i.e. from an png-export out of AS, then the "alpha-mask" has an depth of 8 bit.

You could put all your layers inside a group layer, and then apply a shadow to that. Or play around with the layer blending mode. Must be a number of ways to do it.

Ahh!! Of course - layer blending does it!

Must be the weather - it's to cold for my brain
Thank you!
