Sorry, You are right, the test I did was so low res that it looked like it worked. When I redid the test last night at higher res, it didn't work. I have another idea which I tested and which works, basically you use face mapping to get the effect, the opacity map is a white square (say 100×100 res), which over time becomes hollow, it works really well. Unfortunately, you can't use the technique if you already have something mapped or are already using an opacity map. I haven't tried using it as a mask though. Some real interesting effects could be done with this technique, if you use different animated maps. Anyway, there is always more to learn in 3ds. Yann
