Hi! We are Secret Weapons and we make tools for artists. Our first weapon - EbSynth - brings your art to life. Try it out yourself!
Here's a short introduction to digital pigment mixing and the science behind Mixbox. Mixbox is a new blending method for pigment-based color mixing. It produces saturated gradients with hue shifts and natural secondary colors during blending. Yellow and blue make green!

Have you ever struggled with desaturated, greyish colors when painting digitally? For example when mixing blue and yellow, maybe? The intuitive result is green, yet the majority of painting software produces grey. That's because of our good old RGB representation of the color. Realistic pigment mixing described by the famous Kubelka&Munk has been impractical to implement. Until now!
Our Mixbox is a plug-and-play RGB-in, RGB-out box that treats colors as pigments and mixes them naturally. It is easy to integrate into any existing software. You don't have to wait long to try it out, because it is coming out in Rebelle 5 this winter as their new feature 'Rebelle Pigments'! Rebelle is the leading painting software in simulating traditional media, go check it out, their watercolors and oils are stunning! https://www.escapemotions.com/product...
If you're interested in Mixbox technology, we published a technical paper at SIGGRAPH Asia 2021 and you can read all about it on our website. scrtwpns.com/mixbox
#mixbox #rebelle #digitalpaintingTalk - Practical Pigment Mixing for Digital PaintingSecret Weapons2021-12-09 | Hi all! This is our presentation from SIGGRAPH Asia 2021. scrtwpns.com/mixbox
It's quite a letdown when you paint in Photoshop or Procreate, and you get grey instead of green when mixing blue and yellow. In this video, we talk about the reasons why no professional painting software implemented realistic pigment mixing so far. We explain how pigment mixing works and how we achieved to pack all the physics into a practical RGB-in, RGB-out model for natural color mixing - Mixbox.
We are happy to announce that Mixbox will be coming out in the newest release of Rebelle as their Rebelle Pigments feature!
Don't hesitate to ask any questions down in the comments. Hope you enjoy it!
#mixbox #pigments #colormixingIntro - Practical Pigment Mixing for Digital PaintingSecret Weapons2021-12-09 | Hi all! This is the fast-forward to our SIGGRAPH Asia 2021 talk. scrtwpns.com/mixbox
We came up with an easy plug-and-play solution to natural color mixing for painting software. No more greyish mixtures when mixing blue and yellow! Our technology - Mixbox - has already been used in Rebelle 5 for their 'Rebelle Pigments'. The release of Rebelle 5 is coming out this Christmas, so you'll be able to try it out yourself in professional painting software, which is pretty awesome.

#ebsynth #animation #vfxEbSynth: Transform videos by painting over a single frameSecret Weapons2020-08-20 | Here's our new showreel presenting many ways to use EbSynth. We hope you get inspired! If you have some new ideas, show us! We're always curious :) Download the new version: ebsynth.com Watch the new features: youtu.be/FIasSFCEU90
You can paint into video, edit, colorize, apply digital make-up, make any change that comes to your mind. EbSynth distributes your edit of a single frame into the whole video. Just try it out and let us know about your experience. We're working on EbSynth 1.0. and your feedback could help us make it a more effective tool. Thanks!

#ebsynth #update #superspeedFuturistic StreetSecret Weapons2020-05-14 | Here's a little sneak peek at the concept art of Restore Point - an upcoming feature film. The look development for the movie is still in progress and that was the perfect setting to bring EbSynth up. The soldiers were animated using the latest version that we're currently working on. We would love to see EbSynth used for visual development in the future, it's perfect for quick testing of different ideas and looks.
#conceptart #ebsynth #lookdevOilpaint Animation of Hector & Agamemnon from Troy 2004Secret Weapons2020-04-03 | This animated scene was made by Jakub Javora with EbSynth - ebsynth.com It shows the result of a new animation workflow where you shoot a reference video, paint one keyframe and let EbSynth do the rest.
To produce such clean animation as Jakub did here, you need to divide your keyframe into layers and process them separately, make a few fixes afterward, and do some compositing work in the post-process. However, we still think it's faster and less tedious than the traditional frame-by-frame animation and that this workflow could save a lot of time and energy.
Let us know what you think about it. If you've already tried EbSynth yourselves, we're curious about your thoughts - if you want to share them, leave us a comment or message us at any of our channels :)

All you need to do is retouch a single frame of your video and EbSynth will distribute your edit into the whole footage.

In this video, we show the difference the deflicker parameter can make for your final animation. Hopefully you'll get a better hold of it and will be able to tweak its value to get better results!
Feel free to contact us, send feedback, or ask questoons, we are happy to chat!
So far, we have been using EbSynth mostly for animation - you paint over one frame of a video, feed it to EbSynth and get the whole footage looking like hand-drawn animation. That was great, but when Netflix released the Irishman with Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Al Pacino looking 40 years younger we thought WE HAVE TO BEAT ILM! Haha, right. But we wanted to use EbSynth in a realistic use case for a long time and this was the perfect opportunity. Instead of a painting, we used a photo edit as a keyframe. See for yourself how the results turned out and let us know what you think :)
A tool for concept artists, animators, or anyone who would like to see their paintings or drawings move without the pain of making thousands of images to meet the 30fps rate. With EbSynth you'll only need a few keyframes and a video representing the movement.
