Why not just open the image sequence in Photoshop and paint the mask in, frame by frame? You can copy the old mask and change the areas that have changed, so you save time. Semi-transparent areas are also easier to paint then to match with splines… or maybe I’m wrong here.
Or is there an important point in using splines that I’ve missed?

Anybody knows if there is a built-in equivalent of GI_joe.mel from Highend3d.com in Maya 2008? It’s purpose is to take a photograph or render of a final environnement and create simulated image-based global illumination.
Thank you for the information

Since 1993 Channel 4 has been offering viewers an alternative to the Queen’s Christmas message. With the likes of Ali G, Jamie Oliver and even Marge Simpson delivering a speech it’s generally been a rather tongue-in-cheek event.
