Overview
The new Boris Continuum Cartoon Look Unit lets you easily convert images and clips into cartoon-style roto animations. The result is a look that has been popularized in films such as "Waking Life" and "A Scanner Darkly". The look can also be seen in broadcast TV commercials for The Charles Schwab Corporation.
Boris Continuum Cartoon Look includes the following BCC 6 filters:
- Cartoon Look
- Pencil Sketch
- Charcoal Sketch
- Watercolor
BCC Cartoon Look
BCC Cartoon Look simulates the look of cartoon rotoscope animation which was recently popularized with feature films such as "A Scanner Darkly" and "Waking Life" and may also be seen in memorable advertisement campaigns for The Charles Schwab Corporation. The filter includes many preset looks and styles, all available via the filter's preset pop-up menu. Users can even make their own presets and apply them to any other clip in any project. This filter is easy to use, yet provides parameter controls to achieve the right look with any source material.
BCC Pencil Sketch
The BCC Pencil Sketch filter simulates the look of a hand-drawn pencil-sketched image. Simply apply this filter to an image clip to emulate the look of an animated pencil-drawn sketch. The filter includes apply modes which can be used to blend the generated pencil lines with the original image to produce unique stylized looks
BCC Charcoal Sketch
The BCC Charcoal Sketch filter simulates the painterly look of an image that was created using charcoals. Simply drop the filter onto any clip and the image is immediately transformed into a charcoal sketch. The filter includes easy-to-use pop-ups to determine the weight or line width and the desired level of detail.
BCC Watercolor
Watercolor paint-style images can easily be generated from any source material with the addition of the BCC Watercolor filter. This filter includes the ability to control the color and weight of the contour edges as well as the desired level of contouring. Users can save their own preset looks or use the included user-modifiable preset looks to generate wash or watercolor effects.
