>>When you loft an object with coordinates, and apply the >>opacity map to it the "end" of the object will not become >>transparent, no matter what you do Mike. I'm getting caught up on messages and noticed this one from a few days ago. I ran into the "end" problem long time ago but my poor brain can't remember what I did to fix it. However, this seems to work today… – put the animated opacity map flic in the Opacity Mask slot as well as the Opacity Map slot – in the Mask mapping parameters dialog, add a slight V-Offset, such as 0.1 or 0.01 I have tried this in test renderings only, not in a project. Also, to me, it looked like the moving edge was cleaner when using a mask. JKJ
