Crafting Visuals with Curve Tracer:​

1. Mimicking Artistic Techniques:​

Curve Tracer replicates the traditional artist's approach by starting with "sketching" curves, providing a rough layout. The subsequent primary curves offer precision, shading, and depth.

2. Edge and Contour Analysis:​

The plugin analyzes image edges and contours, converting them into smooth splines (curves). Post-processing adds color and a subtle "bloom" effect, ensuring authenticity.

Exploring Parameters:​

1. Canny Edge Detection:​

• Convert images into edge maps using Canny Edge Detector.
• Gaussian smoothing ensures natural splines by eliminating high-frequency noise.
• Set low and maximum limits for a controlled hysteresis process.

2. Curve-Style Customization:​

• Adjust the width of curves.
• Explore additional smoothing options for varied results.
• Define details percentage for curve point sampling.
• Choose between solid and dashed line styles.

3. Principal Contour Settings:​

• Classify curves into Main/Lighting and Sketch contours.
• Customize color, opacity, and source color mix for Main contours.
• Illuminate visuals with Lighting contours, adjusting coverage, scale, angle, color, and opacity.
• Create handwritten-like Sketch contours with parameters for smoothing, opacity, and source color mix.

4. Rendering Options:​

• Optimize post-processing with features like skipping frames, halo effects, and composite on the original.
• Choose blending options for an added artistic touch.

5. New Changes:​

• Introducing a Ghosting feature for rendering past or upcoming frames.
• Bug fixes and improvements for enhanced stability.

How to Use Curve Tracer:​

1. Apply the effect by navigating to Effects -> Aescripts -> Curve Tracer.
2. Customize parameters such as Canny Edge Detection, Curve-Style, Principal Contour, Sketch Contour, and Rendering.
3. Fine-tune settings to achieve the desired artistic effect.
4. Explore new features like Ghosting for advanced rendering.

Compatibility and Recommendations:​

• Compatible with After Effects and MacOS/Windows platforms.
• Use Depth Maps without Anti-aliasing for optimal results.
