Is this thread about how much we hate rotoscoping? Because I hate rotoscoping. I hate it so much.

Is this thread about Majora's Mask when you jump through all the hoops and finally get that cool mask you were trying to get? Or a boss mask that you finally defeat? Perhaps a mask you yourself are making in time for the masquerade and you want it to look really nice?

I think masks in general are tedious and even hard to come by but there's a great feeling of accomplishment that comes from touching and owning one that's finished and unique.

Yup, music makes masking far easier, meditative even. I discovered a slew a new music while masking for hours on end.

I only use Masks to achieve a certain thing and I'm only happy about it if it turns out how I wanted it to be.
I've never used rotobrush, I've heard it sucks for anime anyways.

The only way to motivate myself to mask is to break internet, then i can do it for few hours :uhoh: .

You know you can change rotobrushed stuff to normal masks with layer->auto-trace. There was also some homebrew plugin for ae with lasso but i cant find it anymore d;.
Still better than that MMO.

It takes me like 10 minutes to do a single frame (and actually do a good job on it) and then I click on something I shouldn't have and lose all my work.
