Shearing (Pixel)

The Shear operation allows you to distort a selected pixel grid along a specified axis. This transformation can create interesting effects by slanting the pixels in a way that alters their shape without changing the overall volume.

INFO

Pixel References cannot be sheared.

Steps to Shear Pixel Grids

1. Select pixels or Pixel Layers.
2. Navigate to Pixel > Transform > Shear.
3. In the shear dialog enter the shear factors.
4. Click OK to apply the shear transformation.

Shear Dialog Parameters

• Shear Factors: Enter the shear factors. These values determine how much the pixel grid will be distorted.
• Hide Selection: Enable this option to toggle the highlighting of selected voxels in 3D mode, which can enhance your ability to visualize the changes more effectively.
