The Triangle node
Triangle Mask Node Introduction
The Triangle mask creates simple triangular masks. It is unique in that it has no Center, Size, or
Angle control. Unlike most other types of masks, all three points of the triangle can attach to a
tracker or motion path.
Inputs
The Triangle mask node includes a single effect mask input.
Effect Mask: The optional blue input expects a mask shape created by polylines,
basic primitive shapes, paint strokes, or bitmaps masks. Connecting a mask to this
input combines the masks. How masks are combined is handled in the Paint mode
menu in the Inspector.
Basic Node Setup
The Triangle mask node is useful for generating triangular shapes. Below, the Triangle mask is
used to generate a square-colored shape by cutting a triangular shape from a
background node.
