I'm wondering how certain masking effects can be done in CTA. For example, a character gets up from a chair, walks, places his left hand in his jacket pocket, then continues to walk.

I'm thinking maybe attaching a prop that looks like the pocket to the jacket itself, but the z-depth might not allow it don't know... How would you guys tackle it?

Im a noob here as I only have CTA for 1 day now and not made any animation yet....

But is it not simpler to just add more hand sprites? For a hand in the pocket? It will prevent not needed extra bones and what not,... and only requires you to replace the hand-sprite.

Or is that not what you mean?
