Line Drawings

Posted by Lawrence Diggs on May 5, 2016 at 1:19pm

I asked about finding edges but so far no reply. Perhaps I am using the wrong language. I want to create a vector line drawing from my photographs with no shadings. Is this possible in SA? If so, how?

    Here a basic setup with editor panel of the vectorizer :

    You can choose any vectorizer preset and just adjust vector edge blend % to 100% and vector fill blend % to 0 (detail of drawing panel) if you just want lines....

    2472685934?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024The vectorizer is one avenue to edges in SA. There are many others. Explore the Path commands. Generate paths from source edges, adjacent edges, from the vectorizer etc. Then you can use the paint paths (command-k on a mac) to trace those edges. This will allow you a great amount of freedom in the type of line that you draw.

      other possibilities exist in the ImOp commands :: sketch edge :: sketch mass. The MSG could also yield some interesting results. The Texturizer is more limited in edge creation but can also be used.

        What is Imop and how do I use it?

    For image operation effects, try Color Edge, Edge, or Sketch Edge. Depending on what you are trying to achieve, Sketch Mass might also be of interest to you.

    It's also possible to configure the paint synthesizer to generate hard contrast sketch effects. And you can always generate bezier paths from the source edges (Path : Generate Paths : From Source Edges), and then paint them in with black vector paint (Path : Paint Paths : Full Layer) if you wish.

    Here are some tips on generating sketch effects.

    Here are some effects blog articles on different approaches to sketch effects.

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
