Introducción
Synfig, como la mayoría de los otros programas gráficos competentes, rompe individualmente los elementos de Lienzos a Capas. Sin embargo, difiere de los otros programas en dos principales formas:
- Una capa individual en Synfig usualmente representa una sola "Primitiva". ie. Una región única, un esbozo de una región, un JPEG importado, etc... Esto te permite tener mucha flexibilidad y control. No es inusual para una composición tener cientos de capas (organizadas en una jerarquía solo entendible por la cordura de algunos artistas, claro...).
- Una capa no solamente puede estar compuesta por la información en la parte superior de la imagen, sino que también puede distorcionarla y/ó modificarla de alguna forma. En este sentido, las capas de Synfig actúan mucho mas como filtros en Adobe Photoshop o El GIMP. Por ejemplo, tenemos una capa de Desenfoque, una capa de Desenfoque Radial, una capa de Distorsión Esférica, una capa de Corrección de Color, una capa de bisel, etc...
Cada capa tiene establecidos una serie de parámetros los cuales determinan como se comporta. Cuando haces click en una capa (Bien sea en la ventana del lienzo, o en el Panel de Capas), verás sus parámetros en el Panel de Parámetros.
En Synfig están disponibles los siguientes tipos de capas:
