Effects Brush modultion

I have an effects brush. A water drip effect. What I would like is to modulate the amount of drip based on pen pressure but am having trouble finding the control that would do that. In Photoshop this would roughly be using transfer mode on a brush with pen pressure controlling flow. Is this not possible or am I just missing something obvious in the brush settings. FWIW I am very new to Studio Artist with a pen tablet so it may well be a control I've overlooked.

  • It depends on how the paint synthesizer preset is built. If the drip extent is based on Autodraw Interactive pen mode and the Max Path Length, you can modulate that using pressure by setting the Path Length Mod control in the Path Shape control panel to Pressure.

    If it's setup differently, then you'd have to edit the appropriate modulator in the paint synth to use pressure.

    • That was it. Still wrapping my head around how much is controllable with a pen tablet. Answer: a lot. It is like a whole different piece of software.

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

Teenage Tongue Cult

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…
