Update for Silhouette in 2023.5: New Version Released
In the world of high-end visual effects, Silhouette has once again raised the bar with the release of its latest version, Silhouette 2023.5. This update brings a host of improvements, focusing on advanced Generative AI, UpRes ML Node, Denoiser ML Refinements, Tracking Enhancements, and the Regrain Auto Sample.
The Generative AI and related Machine Learning (ML) tools have been significantly enhanced in Silhouette 2023.5. These improvements result from better models trained with more images, leading to higher denoising precision for cleaner visuals.
The UpRes ML Node, a machine learning-based upscaling tool, provides superior quality when increasing image resolution. It preserves detail while enlarging elements during compositing, making it easier to handle keying, compositing, and grain management.
Denoiser ML Refinements benefit from these improved ML models, enabling more precise noise reduction while maintaining important image details. This is essential for film and VFX workflows, ensuring that the final output is of the highest quality.
Tracking Enhancements include advancements in optical flow ML tracking that support realistic motion blur and better shape and object tracking. These improvements make roto and paint tasks more accurate and efficient, saving time in the video editing process.
The Regrain Auto Sample feature automates grain matching to better integrate VFX elements with original footage, streamlining the finishing process by applying consistent and realistic grain patterns. This automation of grain synthesis is typical in such VFX tools.
Silhouette 2023.5 builds on the longstanding reputation of Silhouette as a best-in-class, GPU-accelerated compositing application with highly robust non-destructive roto and paint workflows. It has been widely used in major feature films since 2005.
The new features in Silhouette 2023.5 are designed to streamline and simplify various video editing tasks. The ability to track multiple layers and subtracted layers saves time on tracking and rotoscoping tasks.
Silhouette 2023.5 is powered by machine learning technology. The UpRes ML Node accurately resizes images using machine learning trained on thousands of images, producing superior results while keeping vital details.
Current customers on an active subscription or upgrade & support plan can get Silhouette 2023.5 as a free update by downloading it via the Boris FX Hub. The Boris FX Hub also offers a free trial for learning more about Silhouette.
In summary, version 2023.5 is characterized by enhanced ML-driven denoising and upscaling (UpRes ML), improved tracking accuracy with motion blur, and automation of grain matching (Regrain Auto Sample), all centered on leveraging generative AI to boost quality and workflow efficiency in high-end visual effects production.
Technology plays a significant role in the advancements of Silhouette 2023.5, particularly with the UpRes ML Node that uses machine learning trained on thousands of images for accurate upscaling of images. Moreover, the Denoiser ML Refinements utilize improved machine learning models to provide more precise noise reduction, ensuring high-quality visuals.
