Bevel, border, glow, erode

Bevel​

This effect can be used to give volume to your drawings or texts. The Mode popup menu allows you to choose between creation of an inner or outer relief. You may also use both effects at the same time, which gives a relief effect to the contours of your image.

To give an image relief you must set the size of the Bevel as well as its Lighting using the following parameters: Altitude, Direction, Color and Power. The Smooth parameter enables attenuation of rough contours by applying a slight blur.

Border​

Use this effect to add a border of the thickness of your choice around an image. As TVPaint Animation works with sub-pixel precision, it is possible to increase this thickness in steps of 0.5 pixels using the associated mini-slider.

It is also possible to choose the color of the border.

Glow​

It is possible to create a halo around a text or any other image containing transparent pixels by using the Glow effect. The Width, Height, Color and Opacity of this halo may change in time thanks to the FX Stack keyframe system. The halo will only affect transparent pixels.

Erode​

This effect can be used to erode the contours of an image. There are two parameters that may be adjusted using keyframes: Width and Height.
