  • Yes, i think you can create a wide variety of different oil paint effects in Studio Artist. Including the raised textured surface, and/or raised brush strokes associated with bristles in the brush.

    So here's a sampling of Studio Artist generated paintings on the user forum tag marked with oil.

    Are there any in there that resonate with you for what you are looking for in a digital oil paint.  I can then point you at how it was generated if it's one we posted.

    I'll try and put together a series of short tutorials that run through paint synthesizer features that are useful for this kind of paint effect. There are 2 different Brush Load Types (Lighting effects, and Gradient Generator) that can be used to directly generate the appearance of an oil painted surface.  You could also build MSG presets for use in a MSG Brush Load that could run gradient and gradient lighting processing effects.

    There are also different approaches you can take in the Paint Brush Setup and Paint Brush Apply control panels to dial in an appropriate smear or wetness to the digital paint.

    You can also generate surface lighting effects after the fact, as a post-processing stage.  Check out the Gradient Lighting and the Gradient Multi-Lighting Ip Op effects.

Interdimensional Coincidence Control

Hi everyone, I am glad the site is still here! Here is a new short video I made.

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?

Is anyone at Synthetik doing any development work at all?

Having difficulty exporting canvas as image

I'd like to export a canvas as a .tiff/.tif image file to a folder I made on my desktop.I select that from a dropdown menu, I can name the exported file, change the extension, etc, and I press save but nothing happens.It's always worked until now. It seems like a simple task. Any ideas?I'm on Mac OSX 12.6, if that matters, and my system hasn't changed since the last time I was able to export successfully.Thanks
