Animated 2D characters really stand out when Shade/Shape is applied!

Be creative!

Develop cool effects and abstract transitions. Add natural 3D shading effect to your existing image sequences.

Feature Specs

Automatic depth and volume

Shade/Shape automatically generates 3D shading for your 2D graphical and picture elements using our shading-from-shape technology.

Metallic looks

Add depth, shading and metallic luster to your titles and logos!

Glass looks

Create glassy objects by reflecting the background sequence THROUGH your object!

Support for 3D surface normals

Shade/Shape also comes with a plugin, that uses the shading techniques in Shade/Shape to shade the normals produced by a 3D system or even Shade/Shape itself.

Bump and environment mapping

Add further detailing by applying reflection and bump maps.

Fine tune the shaping

Stable and smooth-over-time shading produced for moving imagery. As 2D elements merge and split in a sequence, Shade/Shape automatically merges and splits the geometry in an intuitve fashion!
