GPU plugin that renders footage as ballpoint-pen sketches on aged paper.

What Ballpoint does

Ballpoint converts video into an artwork that looks drawn with a ballpoint pen on old paper. Made by Pixel Sorter Studio, it gives live-action or rendered footage a hand-sketched, inked quality.

Processing runs on the graphics card, and it supports 16 and 32 bits per channel. The plugin works in After Effects, Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder, and an OFX version is available for DaVinci Resolve and Nuke. It is useful for stylized titles, music videos and animated looks that need an analog drawing feel.
