The Silhouette features the world’s most sophisticated tools for rotoscoping teams. Create
sophisticated keyframeable mattes using B-Spline, Bézier, or X-Spline shapes.
Intelligent design and easy-to-use tools, such as uneven per-point edge softening,
assist in creating articulate animations. Render mattes with realistic motion
blur or export to industry-standard shape formats.
The powerful ZMatte and Power Matte nodes use proprietary matte extraction techniques that
handle the most difficult keying and matting challenges, including shots with fine hair
detail, smoke, or reflections.
