Free Silhouette Online Training (Rotoscoping/Digital Painting)

In film making these days, knowing the art of rotoscoping and digital painting tools gives you an edge. And things have come a long, long way from the early digital days of doing these processes frame by frame.

One of the very best apps for it is Silhouette by Borisfx, a company I have been dealing with since around 1998 or so, and it has made available a free 8 hour training course online if you want to learn these disciplines in your own time.

To sum the course up:

Silhouette Essentials gives artists an expert-level understanding of the feature film industry’s most powerful rotoscoping and digital paint tools.
