  woodcut affect in AE

  Posted by Rural_idyll on June 15, 2007 at 3:16 pm

  has anyone any suggestions for how to create a realistic woodcut effect, with which i can manipulate tapering, density etc. and use as a matte or filter over existing animation.

  i’m looking for an effect not unlike the work of illustrator bill sanderson https://www.billsandersonart.com/gallery.htm

  You might have to render your footage as a sequence of stills, then apply a batch action in Photoshop.

  Googling “photoshop” and “woodcut” should lead to more info.

  Now … I hope you don’t expect to get curved lines around spherical objects, faces and such. No software can know the curvature of a 2D image in 3D space. But you knew that. 🙂 If you really want it though, you’d have to create the object in a 3D app such as Cinema 4D then use its Sketch and Toon module to do the woodcut effects.
