In an exciting development, Silhouette, a leading software solution for rotoscoping and painting, has launched its latest version, Silhouette 2021.5. This update offers significant enhancements to the software, focusing on improving the speed, efficiency, and flexibility of painting and rotoscoping.
For rotoscoping and painting, Silhouette 2021.5 has made substantial improvements to paint performance. Brush strokes are now smoother and more responsive, making workflow more efficient, especially when dealing with large brush commands or high-resolution footage.

In terms of color correction, Silhouette 2021.5 expands the control and precision of color grading tools, allowing for more nuanced adjustments directly integrated within the rotoscoping and painting environment. This enables artists to apply refined color corrections during their paint and roto work without needing to switch software or workflows.
Moreover, the new version features a 4-way color correction user interface, offering greater control over hue, saturation, brightness, and contrast adjustments.
Ben Brownlee, Director of Production & Learning, has created a new masterclass on complex wire removes using Silhouette and Mocha Pro as primary tools. The masterclass, available to watch in its entirety, consists of over 3 hours of training, broken down into 15 easy-to-follow videos. It focuses on helping users succeed in complex wire removes, a highly sought-after invisible VFX skill.
Silhouette 2021.5 is available as a standalone application or plugin, with affordable subscription options for Adobe and OFX hosts including Foundry Nuke, Blackmagic Resolve and Fusion, Autodesk Flame, and VEGAS Pro.
