Hurricane Ana and Synthetik Software Operations

As some of you may be aware, Hawaii is under another hurricane watch right now. Hurricane Ana will be visiting us this weekend. If recent projects hold up, it looks like it will miss directly hitting any of the islands, so that is very good news.

But we anticipate that the power and internet will go out here at various points in time here over the weekend, as it usually does with any small storm, let alone a hurricane force one. So if we take longer than normal to respond to tech support requests, email, etc, please take that into consideration.

  • Stay safe guys!

    • Thanks Chris.

      Fortunately, we appear to have dogged the bullet with Hurricane Ana. Just a lot of rain so far. The predicted path moved in a favorable direction passing slightly to the south of the Hawaiian islands. Although i still wait with anticipation for the power to go out here at some point.

      The only thing that is kind of a cause for concern now is that the water to the northwest of the Hawaiian islands is warmer than it ever has been in recorded history, so it's anticipated that Ana will actually increase in power after it passes us and begins heading north when it is west of Hawaii. So if it turned around and headed back, that would be bad. And it's kind of scary that hurricanes now can get stronger as they move north of Hawaii due to unusually warm (in a historical sense) ocean water near here, because that never used to be the case before.

On the closure of the User Forum : An open letter to John Dalton

Hi John I have no idea what you are going through. However the impact you have made not to continue with the user forum and your desire keep it as a permanent feature as promised in the past is a big shock. It also betrays the faith and love we have shown in you and Studio Artist.  Bluntly spoken, it sucks. That you have chosen to follow this direction in silence, allowing no compassion or understanding on our part is a betrayal of the deepest level. What is going on? This is not the John…

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?
