Is it somehow possible to have filters on a max camera? I dont mean the most traditional (like color correction) but more like a vignetting type of filter. I am working on a project which uses a very unique projection system and would need to block out areas of the frame and keep the blocking constant.

I tested using a plane in front of the camera, linked to the camera (used maps to get the shape) and that works in a very basic scenario but of course doesnt work if I need to zoom in.

I come from a live action background and now I really miss the matte box!

Do it in post edit...? Far greater control.
