  • When you say 'brush', what do you mean exactly? Using images or movies as a source brush in the paint synthesizer? If so, here's a tip on creating a movie brush. If you search in the synthetik blog for photo mosaic or movie brush, there are tons of posts that detail different ways to use them. And you should search the user forum, since movie brushes have been extensively discussed here over the years.

  • I saw a few posts referring to "brushes". I was thinking it was something like PSD "brushes". I didn't see a video tutorial on "brushes" or a menu for "brushes", so I thought I was grossly missing some component of SA. Seems I have no idea what a brush is because there are no "brushes". :-) I'll check the links you provided.

    • In PSD you are basically always painting with an image brush. So when people talk about PSD brushes, they are referring to the image that is dragged around the canvas stamping out paint nibs based on the image shape.

      In Studio Artist, an image brush is just one particular programming option in the Brush Source control panel of the paint synthesizer. So 'brush' in Studio Artist typically refers to an image or movie file inside of the Brush folder in the main Studio Artist folder, that might be used as a Brush Source within a more comprehensive paint preset. 

      All of the different Studio Artist effects can be saved and restored as Preset files. There is a Preset Sharing Group here on the user forum. And many additional presets have been shared by forum users in individual forum posts, or in discussion posts associated with artwork they posted to the forum.

      • Thanks. I'll check it out.

Interdimensional Coincidence Control

Hi everyone, I am glad the site is still here! Here is a new short video I made. All made in Studio Artist, several separate videos with alpha channels, then combined in layers with the music in Blender. A lot of MSG running through brushes, with several of the brush Path Starts being controlled by the MSG Scan Generator in the Generator part of the Path Start in the Paint Synthesizer. Also some MSG running through a brush, then making a video of that with an alpha channel, then making that a…

Whats going on with this site?

Has anyone else gotten a warning about this site disappearing? An email form just popped up, asking me to contract the owner and leave a message to let them know that they may loose their "network"Did Synthetik forget to pay it's bills, or is something else going on?I think 8 months is more than enough vacation time. Is anyone at Synthetik doing any development work at all?

Having difficulty exporting canvas as image

I'd like to export a canvas as a .tiff/.tif image file to a folder I made on my desktop.I select that from a dropdown menu, I can name the exported file, change the extension, etc, and I press save but nothing happens.It's always worked until now. It seems like a simple task. Any ideas?I'm on Mac OSX 12.6, if that matters, and my system hasn't changed since the last time I was able to export successfully.Thanks
