Launch: Silhouette 2023 Unveiled

In the realm of visual effects (VFX) software, the latest release from Silhouette is causing a stir. While detailed information about the new features specific to Silhouette 2023, such as its machine learning capabilities or updates to compositing and VFX nodes, remains scarce in the available sources, there is plenty of contextual information to share.

Last year, Silhouette 2022 saw significant improvements with the integration of new nodes for compositing, FX, and tracking, as well as the addition of plugins like Boris Sapphire, Mocha Pro, and Particle for enhanced VFX workflows [2]. However, direct updates for 2023 have yet to be found.

One of the most exciting features in Silhouette 2023 is the Primatte Node, which leverages Academy Award-nominated technology for quick and efficient blue/green screen chromakeying [4]. The Grain Management Nodes, including the DeNoiser ML node (powered by machine learning), Regrain node, and Sapphire UltraGrain node, bring cinematic realism to projects [7].

The Stability Node in Silhouette 2023 empowers digital paint artists to speed up tasks like removals and clean plates using inpaint, outpaint, or even generating images from scratch using text prompts [8]. Expressions in Silhouette 2023 enable the creation of complex animations and the linking of parameters, performing math functions, and using variables without writing code [9].

Compositing & VFX Nodes in Silhouette 2023 have been updated with Sapphire 2023.5, Mocha Pro 2023, Particle Illusion 2023, and select Continuum 2023 nodes [10]. A free trial of Silhouette 2023 is available for further exploration [11].

For those interested in purchasing Silhouette 2023, it is available as a standalone application and/or an Adobe/OFX plugin for Adobe After Effects & Premiere Pro, Autodesk Flame, Blackmagic Resolve & Fusion, and Foundry Nuke [3]. The product page provides additional information about Silhouette 2023 [5].

During the spring sale, there is a 25% discount on a single purchase of Silhouette 2023 [6]. This discount applies to all available purchase options, including annual/monthly subscriptions, upgrade & support plans, and a perpetual license [6]. If you're an existing customer with an active subscription or upgrade & support plan, Silhouette 2023 is a free update [12].

Elizabeth Postol demonstrates how to use the Stability Node, while Ben Brownlee guides users through the new features and why they're useful in current projects [4][9].

For the most current and specific technical update on Silhouette 2023, it is recommended to consult the official Silhouette release notes or vendor announcements directly, as this information is not covered in the sources retrieved. Silhouette 2023 is a new release that includes machine learning technology developed by Boris FX's internal team [13].

Technology advancements in Silhouette 2023 include the integration of artificial-intelligence, with the DeNoiser ML node using machine learning to bring cinematic realism to projects. The Grain Management Nodes, a part of this AI advancement, also utilizes machine learning to enhance visual effects workflows.
