Hi there,

I'm wanting to render this character as a flash animation (which i will create with swift 3d), could I make the walls of this corridor mask him so that only his head would only be seen as he walked through it, as below?

I would later render the animation of walls as normal like so http://www.twistedpancreas.com/cedir/nursing/walkThrough.html (so that i would have a vector character walking through a bitmap corridor, you may ask why i want to do that, and that's because later on the character will be mainly animating on a still background and i'm trying to conserve download time for the Flash file).

I hope that make sense and thanks in advance.

Thanks that would be greatly appreciated!

It wont be a game as such, just a movie. But will need to be masked as the camera pans through the scene (this is a test atm, that's why it's dead ugly :D)
