Boris FX Silhouette 2025 is the latest iteration of the industry-leading rotoscoping, paint, and compositing application used by top VFX studios worldwide. With deep integration of AI and enhanced 3D capabilities, this version isn’t just an update—it’s a leap forward for high-end post-production work.
Whether you’re working on feature films, episodic TV, or streaming content, Silhouette 2025 empowers visual effects artists with cutting-edge tools to handle the most demanding shots in visual storytelling.
Matte Refine MLTurn basic roto shapes or rough mattes into fine-detail selections. It uses machine learning to preserve strands of hair, fur, and other intricate edges. No more tedious manual feathering or channel stacking.
Depth Map MLAutomatically generate depth maps from footage using AI. Great for simulating DOF (depth of field), fog layers, or using Z-depth for compositing tricks. A game-changer for realistic depth-aware effects.
Frame Fixer MLAutomatically detects and repairs glitches, dead pixels, light flickers, scratches, and even missing frames. Frame Fixer ML removes the need for frame-by-frame patching and speeds up cleanup work dramatically.
3D Scene NodeNow you can import 3D scenes from software like Maya, Blender, or Houdini using FBX or Alembic. You can match camera moves, position roto/paint cards in 3D space, or track elements precisely into live-action plates.
Unproject/Reproject WorkflowThis powerful node set lets you unproject footage from a 3D camera view, paint or composite in 2D, and then reproject it back into 3D space. Perfect for cleanups or adding elements on moving surfaces like faces, clothing, or vehicles.
PowerMesh MorphA new paint node that blends between PowerMesh keyframes. This helps you retouch deforming skin, clothes, or organic surfaces across time without jitter. Massive time-saver for beauty work.
Compound NodesSimplify your node graphs by bundling complex node trees into a single reusable compound. Speeds up collaboration, organization, and reusability in larger pipelines.
Color Management UpgradesFull OCIO v2 support. Work in ACES and other industry-standard color pipelines natively.
New Node PresetsSave your most-used setups as reusable presets for a faster, smarter workflow.
While new features shine, the core of Silhouette remains untouched: best-in-class rotoscoping and non-destructive paint tools.
