  • The image you reference was done in a program that allows multiple twirl start points. Probably Artmatic. If John would add something like Polar from interest points SA could do this easily. As it stands unless the MSG wizard (Benard) can figure it out, I do not believe that it can be done in SA at the moment.

    • I know that this is a digitally created image, so there is some program out there that can do this. I thought it may be SA.

      I also have Artmatic. If you have an idea of how this is created in Artmatic I would love to know how. Artmatic does not really give brush strokes like this that I have found, perhaps I need to dive deeper.

      Thank you!

    • AutoDraw Polar modulation for the Path Angle in the paint synthesizer is a localized polar transformation based on the current start position. So that works with any start point, including interest points. usually i use it with manual painting.

  • I do know that this is an older image so it was not created with the new artmatic system. Its at least 5 years old.

    When I saw it SA was the first thing I thought of.

    • Hello Heather,

      first quick test with some MSG processors....Not the same as your model, but I'll try to make it better :-)

      • Thanks Bernard! I am looking forward to trying it out!

  • In reference to multiple twirl points. You can build your own orientation map in another layer, and then use that layer via Bus modulation to control the orientation of painting. So that might be an approach to generating an image like the one you posted.

    • thank you John, I will give this a try!

      • 2472681258?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024A quick test in AM.. could use this for a source or displacement image in SA

        • This looks cool-how did you do this live art?

Is anybody making a copy of all the material in the Tutorials Forum

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…

Studio Artist is in Italy!

I was crawling the streets of Matera, Italy today and may have discovered where SA is hiding!  (see attached photo). Not meaning to make light of this great, sad mystery. 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
