Hello everyone, my name is Ron and I'm from the UK
I'm new to Corona and have dropped in the deep end on a project and need some help.
I need to mask out a corner of a wine label due to it's shape. This label goes on a glass bottle. I can't work out how to mask this corner of the material texture. No matter what I do it just stays there and won't mask out ! ........ In standard C4d materials it's a doddle but not so it seems in Corona - any help or ideas appreciated?
Kind Regards
Ron

Hi, have you tried adding an alpha mask in the opacity channel? This will cut those corners off.

Hiya
I think I made the mistake of using a Layer Alpha from the image - which normally works in Cinema, but not in Corona, where you have used an actual alpha map! I did solve the issue though using the Corona Bitmap filter which allows use of an alpha, which worked fine. I'll know better next time:)
Thanks for the help and stay safe !
Ron
