Description

Silhouette by Boris FX is an Academy and Emmy Award-winning visual effects tool built for professional rotoscoping, paint, cleanup, compositing, and image processing. The software is widely used by VFX artists on major film and television projects, including titles such as Deadpool & Wolverine, Rebel Moon, Barbie, Dune, 3 Body Problem, Fallout, Twisters, Wicked: Part I, and The Acolyte. Silhouette combines industry-leading roto and paint tools with node-based compositing and more than 400 creative effect nodes. It includes integrated Boris FX technologies such as Sapphire, Mocha Pro, Particle Illusion, and Continuum. Artists can use tools for masking, tracking, cloning, morphing, keying, warping, auto paint, ML-assisted masks, and professional cleanup workflows. Silhouette can run as a standalone application or as a plugin inside supported Adobe and OFX hosts. The software supports macOS, Windows, and Linux, giving studios flexibility across production environments. Machine learning plugins can accelerate roto and matte workflows, with GPU acceleration available on supported systems. By combining roto, paint, tracking, compositing, ML assistance, and premium Boris FX effects, Silhouette gives visual effects artists a complete toolkit for high-end post-production work.

Description

Export your particle effects as static animations on sprite sheets, animation strips, or as image sequences in PNG format; alternatively, if you're developing for iPhone or iPad, you can utilize the PVRTC format (available on Mac only). For those programming games with the robust Blitzmax language, the effects can be directly integrated using the TimelineFX Module. You can generate an endless variety of particle effects such as explosions, smoke, fire, water, steam, bubbles, and many others! Configuring animations for seamless looping is as simple as a single mouse click, and with an additional click, you can also create seamlessly tiling animations suitable for animated textures, featuring effects like smoke, fire, explosions, water, flares, and clouds. Moreover, a vast collection of free effects is available for download to enhance your projects. With 24 attributes to fine-tune your particle emitters, you can manipulate their behavior over time with precision using intuitive graphs. This level of control allows for the creation of intricate and dynamic effects tailored to your specific needs.
