Flipping the Script on Skin Retouching

For years, our Beauty Box plugin has been the go-to for smoothing skin and banishing blemishes in everything from feature films to television. But we’ve heard you – sometimes, you just need to go the other way. You need ugly. That’s where Ugly Box shines. Using the very same sophisticated algorithm that precisely identifies skin tones, Ugly Box takes that information and does the opposite of smoothing. It amplifies every pore, wrinkle, and imperfection, bringing out all the glorious, gruesome details. Whether you’re aging up an actor, crafting a truly villainous look, or just aiming for some good old-fashioned ugliness, this plugin is your secret weapon.

How Ugly Box Works Its Magic

Making someone look revoltingly realistic with Ugly Box couldn’t be easier. Just hit the “Make Ugly” button, and the plugin intelligently analyzes your footage. Utilizing face detection, it pinpoints the skin areas and then enhances their texture to achieve maximum ugliness, all while leaving the rest of your image untouched. Want to dial in the specific shade of ghastly? The intuitive “Color of Ugly” controls let you fine-tune the skin’s color for that perfect level of unsettling. It’s a simple yet powerful way to add that extra layer of visual ick to your projects.
