paint draw differs from path length

When autodrawing a Spiral 1 path shape large enough to extend off the canvas it seems that whereas the painted stroke appears the bezier path as revealed in Bezier Edit is only going about half way (> < hard to estimate, being a spiral) regardless of the path length set in the Path Shape/Path Length box. The Canvas is only 640x480 and the maximum path length I've tried is 2000. I want to cut the bezier path and edit the outer bands but they isn't there. When the canvas is erased to black and the path is again painted via cmd-K the paint goes the actual[?] length of the path, that is not as far as before. Anybody know a reason, or way?

  • In the main preferences you can set the Path Buffer Max. You could try bumping that up if it's at a low setting.

    Bezier conversion will also fail if the path generated by the paint synthesizer is not contiguous. Path Randomization can cause that. You can turn on the Interpolate Path checkbox in that control panel in 3.5 (it's in Path Application in 4) to force the generated path to be contiguous if you think that is a problem.
    • I did both and they did the trick, thanks.

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

Hi John I have no idea what you are going through.

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?
