Gouache

Quick Reference to Scripting Command
a=GOUACHE(radius, intensity)
Items in CAPS are 0/1 switches or switches with more options than 0/1.

The gouache operation will filter the image so that it looks like it has been painted using gouache, an opaque watercolors technique.

The effect can be manipulated by changing the radius and intensity of the brush strokes. The overall effect on the image is similar to peering through translucent glass. The fields of color are blurred and begin to bleed into each other; darker areas in the image remain more clearly defined. The effect does not introduce new colors or change the existing color values.

Goache Controls

Trends

Some of the controls have a Trend button next to them. These trend buttons allow you to set variables over a series of frames. Each frame of any animation may be thought of as a slice of time. The trends allow you to alter some, all, or none of the variables for a particular time slice. Trend graphs have equidistantly spaced vertical lines. For animations under 100 frames in length, each of these lines represents a frame in the animation. The number of frames in any one sequence can be altered using the Sequence controls item from the Timeline pull down menu. Animation lengths of 100 - 999 frames will be represented with a vertical bar being 10 frames, and animation length greater than 1000 frames will have a vertical bar for every 100 frames.

Radius

The radius control alters the size of the brush strokes used to paint the image. The control can range from 0 to 20, with a default setting of 12. The greater the radius value, the more the colors in the image will blur and bleed into each other. It is important to remember that increasing this parameter will also increase the amount of time required to complete the operation.

Intensity

This option controls the intensity or the amount of the effect. The control ranges from 0 to 100, with a default value of 20. The higher this value the darker or more intense the gouache effect will appear. For best results we recommend not setting this parameter below 10.
