Boris FX Silhouette 2025 is a major evolution in visual effects software, celebrating 20 years of excellence with powerful new tools and an enhanced feature set tailored for professional artists. Known for its industry-leading rotoscoping and digital paint capabilities, Silhouette 2025 raises the bar with a full 3D workflow, AI-assisted utilities, and streamlined compositing - all designed to boost efficiency and creative freedom in post-production.
A major highlight of this release is the integration of a dynamic 3D workspace. Artists can now import and manipulate 3D tracking data, paint directly on objects in a stabilized view, and perform tasks like matchmoving and compositing in a true 3D environment. This capability simplifies traditionally complex workflows and brings a new level of accuracy to visual effects work.
Artificial intelligence plays a significant role in Silhouette 2025's capabilities. The Matte Refine ML tool makes it easier to isolate fine details such as hair and fur, generating soft, semi-transparent mattes with minimal cleanup. Depth Map ML automatically creates high-quality depth maps from footage, offering greater control over effects like depth-based blur, fog, and color correction. Frame Fixer ML uses AI to clean up unwanted visual distractions, such as photo flashes or dropped frames, in just seconds.
The non-destructive paint system, known for its high dynamic range and temporal consistency, remains a cornerstone feature. Auto Paint records each stroke as an event that can be replayed across frames, with or without motion tracking. This, combined with Compound Nodes and the Unproject/Reproject tools, gives artists the power to manage complex composites efficiently and re-use custom node setups across different projects.
Silhouette 2025 is available as both a standalone application and as a plugin for leading host environments including Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Foundry Nuke, Blackmagic Resolve and Fusion, and Autodesk Flame. With more than 400 nodes and full integration of Boris FX plug-ins such as Mocha Pro, Sapphire, and Particle Illusion, this release provides a comprehensive VFX toolset that empowers professionals to deliver their best work faster.
