Introduction to Rotoscoping in Toxik
In this series of lessons we'll learn the basics of Rotoscoping in Toxik. Software required: Toxik 2010 and up for project files.
What you'll learn
In this series of lessons we'll learn the basics of Rotoscoping in Toxik. We'll begin this project by learning about the garbage mask tool. We'll then learn how to easily and quickly control our mask shape and edge feathering using Toxiks powerful Edge Point system. We'll then jump into the basic workflows of animating masks and how we can keep a consistent shape for a more appealing matte. We'll end by outputting our mask into an image sequence that can be used in other applications. Software required: Toxik 2010 and up for project files.
