What's New
Cryptomatte Support
Designed to efficiently handle large roto projects. Silhouette layers and shapes are assigned ID mattes for organisation and file delivery.
Cryptomatte Node
Displays layer/shape mattes as different colours while the Output Multi-Part node renders layer and shape data into their own EXR channels. Cryptomatte files can be delivered to compositing applications like NUKE or After Effects.
Packed with Effects
270+ effect nodes featuring the best lighting effects, lens flares, and image processing filters with Sapphire. Mocha Pro features PowerMesh, Remove and Stabilise. Create realistic particle simulations with 3D emitters and fluid dynamics with Particle Illusion.
Invisible VFX Nodes
Apply the InPaint node to remove unwanted pixels using auto-generated textures from surrounding image data. Effective for removal of unwanted objects such as markers, blemishes, or wire removal when using open splines.
Tracking & Roto Improvements
Data Port update enables the Mocha Pro node to pass tracking and spline data within Silhouette’s node graph to paint and roto for improved workflows. Drive lens flares, particles and more by channeling data into any node via tracking data ports and new transform property pop-up menu.
Architecture and Speed
Apple M1 support delivers speed boosts on newest Mac hardware. Improved OCIO v2 colour management features GPU rendering and improved ACES support on colour managed projects.
