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
Houdini was designed from the ground up to empower artists to work freely, create multiple iterations, and quickly share workflows with their colleagues. Houdini stores every action in a node. These nodes are "wired" into networks that define a "recipe", which can be tweaked to improve the outcome, then repeated to create unique results. Houdini's procedural nature is due to the ability of nodes to be saved or to pass information (in the form of attributes) down the chain. Houdini's unique nodes are what make it powerful. However, there are many viewport and shelf tools which allow for artist-friendly interaction. Behind the scenes, Houdini creates the networks and nodes for you. Houdini allows artists to explore new creative paths, as it is easy for them to branch off to explore other solutions.
