Anybody know how to rotoscope WITHOUT photoshop?

hey guys, if you can rotoscope without adobe or any of those tools, please fill me in.

 

use microsoft paint

 

There are many tools available to rotoscope DV video. Commotion, Combustion, Shake, Tremor, After effects all have rotoscoping tools.

If your question means is it possible without any of these tools, the answer is yes. You can rotoscope the traditional way, by printing to film and painting onto the film. This would end up costing much more than purchasing one of the above mentioned applications.

how wouldyou do it on mic paint?

 

Don't forget the free one's

SaberLight, SerialLightJob and Axogon

 

simple, you get your pic, and create a white core the length of the blade, then create an outline of that white core with whatever color you want the blade

 

it would be kinda hard to rotoscope it in paint i think, and it wouldn't look good neither

 

Macho, shh! play along!

 

hey lordhomer, nice joke, but it actualy worked! lololol

 

of course it works, but it produces crappy results like the following:

here it is

 

You could alway use Paint Shop Pro, to rotoscope.

If you build a real working lightsaber you don't have to rotoscope at all. I find it much easier than Photoshop.

 

JoeSunrider, when will you give us a step by step tutorial on how to create your own real lightsaber??

 

If I did, then it wouldn't be my special method anymore, would it?
