Have you ever brought an image into Anime Studio and wished you could somehow make a character or object appear behind one part of the image, while still being revealed in another? While you could go into another software and break this image apart, you can also achieve the effect through masking, without having to leave Anime Studio. This tutorial shows you how to create an invisible mask and allow a character to run behind a pillar on a static bitmap image.
