Timeslice

TimeSlice

Animate with time and create 3D slit-scan effect

TimeSlice records your animation, then shows each part of the mesh at a different moment. The front lives in the present, the back trails a few frames behind, deforming the whole object through time like a slit-scan photo.

01  Key features

  • ▸ Vertex-level time offset: every vertex plays your keyframes at its own moment.
  • ▸ Slit-scan in 2D and 3D: scan across the camera view, or smear through the object in 3D.
  • ▸ Motion graphics: ripple a whole parented model from one empty, or paint a mask to choose what moves.
  • ▸ Gradients: Motion, Direction, Radial, Camera or a custom vertex group.
  • ▸ Non-destructive: lives in a shape key; clear it in one click.

Whole models: one parent empty drives every part, so the model bends as one.

Deforming characters: Capture Deformation records armatures and cloth; the Camera gradient scans across the frame like a slit-scan camera.
