![]() This allowed me to animate the intensity and direction of the blur without impacting upon any other scene elements. I filled each new selection with a strong yellow colour then added a directional motion blur effect to each cell. This effect was created by creating a new pixel layer for the eyes. The next step was to animate glowing yellow eyes. This is how my animation looked once I was happy the blocking of some of the main shapes. I carried on using this technique for every frame, and once finished extended the cube down to the bottom of the canvas to give the creature a body. Next, I used the paint bucket to fill each outlined area. I used the line tool to trace the outline around each colour ignoring shade altogether. I lowered the opacity of the reference animation to make painting above, on a new pixel layer, more visible. This gives the option to add each image on its own layer of the entire sequence as a single layer animation.Ĭhoosing the latter meant I could see the full animation like a flip book and I now had my rotoscoping reference. I exported the frames of the animation and then imported the entire sequence of images into Hexels, all at once, by simply dragging it onto my hexels canvas. I started by creating a short 180° turn amination with a 3d model of the Hexels monkey head Logo in a 3D package. With the new Pixel Layers allowing me to draw curves and lines in any direction, I wanted to see if it was possible to Rotoscope over imported images using the new mode. From classics like Bakshi’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ to modern anime production, rotoscope can be used in many interesting ways.īeing told Hexels was getting Pixel Mode, with the ability to combine Pixel Layers and Trixel Layers in the same document I saw this as a real game-changer for the software. I was using ctrl-v to get the image and whenever ive used it in the past, it has always pasted the image with the actual resolution.Īlthough my issue was tested with pixel mode the same issue applies for vector mode with a vector layer as when im looking at any sloped edge it appears more pixelated than it needs to be because the pixels on the sloped edge of the vector shape are bigger than the size of the pixels of my screen).I’m Mark Knight from Marmoset and I’ve always been fascinated with rotoscope animation. i dont think its an issue of importing image quality either because the two icons on the right were pasted at the same time and one is lower quality than the other. Im pretty sure the picture i took was on vector mode on a pixel layer because i dont think ive used pixel mode yet. I already knew both pictures were going to be somewhat pixelated because i was using a screenshot that wasn't converted to vector (especially because it was on a pixel layer), my issue was the massive difference between the resolution shown on the canvas while editing (easier seen when zoomed out), and my screen resolution. (No clue why the grey gets lighter on the pixelated one (i checked glow was off) but the pixelatedness is a bigger issue imo) (screenshot of hexels icon from the taskbar pasted into hexels (icon on the left) then zoomed out until its the same size as the hexels icon on the taskbar and then screenshotted with the taskbar icon (two icons on the right) all zoomed in so its easier to see in the final screenshot - top right icon is the one that is displayed in hexels and its considerably more pixelated) Heres a screenshot to show what the pixelatedness looks like: The extra detail could really help when looking at large images that are zoomed out so it would be nice if this issue was fixed. I tried to look for a supersampling setting of sorts but found nothing. Just from looking at text its obvious that it doesnt really support 4k screens (most software doesnt though so im used to pixelated text and icons) but one thing i was confused about was the fact the canvas itself was pixelated when hexels are vector based so they shouldnt have an issue becoming more detailed.
