In one of your comments you said studio Artist RGB mapping uses only one vector and wanted to know if 2D modulation or Wacom tablet can be use to introduce another color vector mapping in order to have more than one vector.
How can one incorporate more than one color into a paint job.
Thanks. Really learning something.

Since the Forum is going away in June, has anyone started to make a copy of all the stuff in the Tutorials forum?I've made copies of some of the tutorial material on the main site, but haven't looked at the Tutorial Forum yet.I'm going to continue copying as much as I can for my own personal use anyway, but if anyone else is doing it, or has already started doing it, please let me know.Maybe we can co-ordinate our efforts. ps can't ..... believe John, would let this happen without so much as a…

But I just couldn't resist as I try to make sense of what's happening. Losing my connection to SA, Synthetik and John has been a great sadness... and if real, ends a monumental era in my creative life. love,~Victor

Read more…Hi, here is the video I made back in 2010 for my song "Teenage Tongue Cult". I finally found my master folder of image sequence files for it on one of my old hard drives, and since the version I had on my Vimeo was of pretty terrible pixelated low quality visually, I re-did it yesterday. It has extensive use of Studio Artist through the whole thing. I made it by first animating the characters and scenes in Flash, against a mostly kind of muddy green background, a color I knew wasn't being used…

Learning to work with the Fixed Colors control panel in the paint synthesizer is probably the best approach to generating paint effects with more than one paint color in them Each of the 2 Fixed Colors (Fixed Color 1, Fixed Color 2) can be set to a static color you select in the source area color picker. Or they can track the current source color as offsets. An offset could be something like a luminance or hue offset.
The 2 fixed colors are available throughout the paint synthesizer as modulator options.
The Paint Brush Load control panel has a Type option called Gradient Generator. So you can use this option to generate paint nibs that are composed of the 2 Fixed Colors.
The Paint Color Modulate control panel has 3 controls associated with the Path Gradient. So you can use this to automatically or interactively modulate the color of a paint stroke as it's being drawn.
Paint Fill Setup control panel has a lot of different fill and fill modulation options based on the 2 fixed colors.
If you paint with a Source Area color gradient then the color will move through the color gradient over the course of the paint path.
There are other approaches you can take, but what i suggest above is a good place to get started.
