Did you do this the way I did? I just put something similar up using the texture generator and on a separate layer applying Gradient Lighting.
I like it but your chocolate on my monitor must have some chili added. I have not calibrated my monitor...
very interesting. Have you tried the particle effects in Motion? I am considering getting the new FCP package in no small part because of the enhanced interaction with motion.
I see where you might be going with this. I currently use pentrack as a method for controlling the area that a loop or auto run preset draws in. But a gestural way to select areas while we are drawing or auto painting could be interesting
You know, I looked at the bezier aspect of SA early on. Coincidentally I was spending a lot of time in Illustrator in my "day" job. I was sort of burned out on paths and perfection and so on. The hand drawn lines in this image were a hold over of that mentality.
I really should go back and play with that aspect of SA now that I'm over my Illustrator fatigue. Thanks for reminding me how deep and powerful SA is. I get locked into a specific approach sometimes and bury myself!
I don't have anything ready for release at the moment - I have a bit of back catalog, but I don't like any of it (!), so I am in the process of re-thinking my work flow.
My first letter was created completely in Studio Artist. Since I wanted all the rest of the letters to have the same baseline and size, it was easier to set a black letter in photoshop and the imported it. I use region selection to create a mask.
hello liveart, sorry for the delay: here is the paintpreset you are interresting for. set your canvas-background to black and hit action. you could create a lot of useful presets by changing parameters in the path-palette. have fun, moritz
