(Im a 3D artist doing some compositing on the side)
Is there a faster way of applying an effect to a certain part of layer using a matte?
Now I use 3 layers:
-original layer+effect (track matte using the illumination from matte layer below)
-the matte
-original layer
This way I can adjust the color a chair or something.
This doesn’t feel like an economical way of doing it… is there some way to tell an effect directly to only do its thing on the matted area?
