Autodesk offers up some G-mask (Garbage Mask) Tips

Autodesk is preparing for IBC2010, and has just posted a nice little tutorial for the G-Mask feature of Autodesk Smoke.

In the video blog, I am not going to teach you how to use the garbage masks as that is covered in our Smoke Essentials tutorials but there are a few tips that I want to point out which can be very useful in the everyday masking which we all love to call Rotoscoping!

Hopefully there will be a few surprises as well as some refreshes for others.

Finally I have also added a bonus tip on how to rename elements (clips in the timeline) and layers since there has been much recent talk about it online.
