  • Wonder how you negotiate with it?

  • Here's a cheap kickstarter kit for an XY stage painting robot. Some assembly required.

    • So... automated paint by number with color bleed...I doubt it's capable of intentional blending without enhancement. Pretty cool in a novelty sort of way.

      • I don't think their software control is very sophisticated at this point.

        I signed up as a supporter to their kickstart campaign to get one. So assuming their kickstarter campaign gets fully funded and they do their production build, I might put together something as an output option so that Studio Artist can drive it directly. At that point it might get a little more interesting as far as what you could do with it.  You can't beat the price, $295 for the kit.

        • That would be pretty cool, If you do get one up and running with SA... I hope you post examples if it works. That could be fun.with water colors, Each print might be noticeably unique due to how paper texture can effect color bleed..Not to mention you get the added bonus of having a genuine watercolor painting as opposed to a more conventionally printed simulation of one.

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! Paint Synth with MSG Path Generation! Movie Brushes with MSG Path Start Generation! Time Particles! Time Particles with MSG Path Start Generation running Movie Brushes! All that, and more! 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…
