Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply Cube Hatch online?

Open the Cube Hatch preset, add your image or video, and adjust the loaded effect layers to suit your source. Preview the result before exporting.

Which effects create Cube Hatch?

The preset uses Curves, Cubify, and Halftone Screen. Cubify changes the image geometry, while the halftone layer adds a hatch pattern with all four print channels enabled.

How do I change the size of the blocks and lines?

Use Cubify's scale and strength for the fragmented shapes. Adjust halftone frequency separately for the line pattern. Changing one at a time makes it easier to balance detail against abstraction.

Does the preset include motion?

Cubify has nonzero animation speed in the saved preset, so its distortion can change during playback. Reduce those speeds for a steadier treatment or export a still frame for a static design.

Should I use Cube Hatch or Cross Hatch?

Choose Cross Hatch for a monochrome drawing treatment that preserves the source geometry. Cube Hatch adds color and block displacement, which suits more experimental poster and motion work.
