Masks + Compositing
This project builds a procedural pattern, creates an adjustable Shape, and uses that shape to control Masked Mix. It keeps geometry, softness, and blend amount visible in Rack.
Replaceable sources
Section titled “Replaceable sources”Replace Demo visual — replace source with an image, video, image sequence, or camera.
Useful controls
Section titled “Useful controls”- Mask width resizes the mask horizontally.
- Feather softens the boundary from
0to0.1. - Mask angle rotates the shape.
- Mix balances the composited result.
Add it to another project
Section titled “Add it to another project”Select the reusable layer and use Connect sources to map its visual tap to one of your layers or choose Include original source. Then choose Add layers.
Understand the graph
Section titled “Understand the graph”Pattern and Gradient Map build graphic material; Shape builds the control field; Masked Mix composites it with the source. See Layers and the stack.
