I’m working on creating 360 degree 2D head using shapes with filled color or texture. Any idea how we can create a mask layer (shader) that will control visibility of other shapes? Something like this:
The little experience I had is that with composite material can be done, but on screen the response is very slow, at the level of animation is terribly difficult.

think your looking at something custom in the sdk…
a texture map that creates a mask based on the current screen coords of a spline, and use that in the opacity of the material you want to clip. may already exist somewhere in the endless ether of the interwebby thing.
Yea, composite is super slow.
sdk has many difficulty for me, Do you know any maxscript,dotnet,MCG method?
I’m looking for an editable, animatable shape boolean solution.It seems Max 2020 added this functionality!
They added for the exact reason.
Also try OSL shader.
Yea! works very well, And I also found another spline stuffs, for example spline normalize which helps to morph two splines with different knots.
I heard that for this we need raycast functionality, which is not implemented in the OSL yet.
