Std 11 Computer Chapter 4 Introduction to Layers

Layers in Synfig are used to stack drawing objects above and below each other with top layers hiding bottom layers. Each element in Synfig is broken down into its own layer representing a single primitive like an object, outline, or image. Upper layers can change the behavior of layers below them by distorting or modifying them using effect or filter layers. A practical example demonstrates applying a gradient effect layer to a circle layer by default with the blend method set to composite and effect applied straight onto the object layer using encapsulation to group the effect and object together.

- 1. PART 1 – BASICS OF GRADIENT AND ENCAPSULATION CHAPTER 4 INTRODUCTION TO LAYERS
- 2. LAYERS • A “layer” in synfig refers to different levels on which we can place our drawing objects or pictures, stacked above and below each other. • Top layers will hide bottom layers.
- 3. • In synfig, each individual element of the canvas is broken down into layers. • The layers in synfig are different from other animation software in the following two aspects: 1) Every object, element and effect have their own layer. We do not have a layer with multiple effects. In other words, a layer represents a single primitive such as object, outline or image. 2) The upper layer can change the behavior of the layers below it. It can distort or modify the layers beneath. This is done by using effect or filter layers. • There are different types of layers such as gradient, blur, distortion, filter and others.
- 4. Practical – Applying a Gradient Effect to a Circle Layer • By default blend method is Composite • Straight onto method is used to apply effect to the object layers. • Encapsulation means grouping things together.
