masks as screens

I have a simple question:

Is it possible to create a mask in MM, and then use that mask as a screen unto itself? (rather than simply "cutting-out" that shape from a quad or triangle?

The whole app would seem a lot cooler if I could figure out how to do that.

Perhaps I would understand masks a little better if someone could give me a brief rundown of what the options "over pre-multiplied" "over" "add" and "ignore alpha" are best suited for.

Thanks!

Hi,

it´s posible, but it doesn´t make a "Hole" into your projection.

So you can mask something, no light will come through.

But you can´t fill it with another content.

This is on the Wish List for the next Version of MM .

I hope i explained it properly.
