Hello, Gang:

SA5 is awesome, but I have a have a question, some of my presets are working based on Sketch Mass ImageOp, it seems when I upres my PSAQ to 4k the size of the lines still remains at 720p (my default resolution for testing) Looking at the settings I do not

  • The sketch Mass ip op was not designed so that the brush width of the effect is resolution independent. 

    What you could do is use that ip op to generate vectors that are painted in by the paint synthesizer. The characteristics of the paint could then resolution adjust if you want the brush size to increase. You could either do that by generating a bezier path frame from the ip op effect (path : generate paths : from ip op menu), and then painting in the bezier path frame (path : paint paths : full layer).

    Or, you could directly embed the ip op inside of a single paint preset. There's a paint synth macro edit to help you with that, since the series of individual edits is kind of technical. It's the PathStart IpOp Sketch macro edit command.

    Some of the optional effect components of the sketch mass ip op effect are image processing operations, so those parts of the effect if you are using them will not translate to vectors you can paint in. And you may need to adjust the paint mix down to simulate what is going on in sketch mass when multiple iterations are run with partial transparency for each iteration.

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

The Overload

"The Overload"! A video with music, from the various experiments I made in Studio Artist with stuff that I have learned in the last few days, from tips and tricks I found by scouring this site and the Synthetik site for tutorials etc. MSG!

Haha I have been trying to stretch the Paint Synthesizer in the…

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…
