Smart Posterizer

Developer: Ian Pinder

Download Free

Detects visual change in an animation and uses it to drive time posterization on other properties.

What Smart Posterizer does

Smart Posterizer, by Ian Pinder, is a script that watches an animation, spots when it visibly changes, and uses that information to control time posterization on other properties. The result is stepped, hand-animated rhythm that follows the artwork.

It runs as a ScriptUI panel from the Window menu and has optimized scanning and baking. A beta feature can automatically pin textures to rendered animation with squash and stretch. This suits artists who want choppy, hand-drawn timing across several properties without setting each step by hand.
