Achieving this effect in SA

Posted by Heather on April 11, 2022 at 7:35am

HI all!

I am wondering if somene can direct me in the right direction to achieve this tyrpe of effect?  (This is not my work and I do not own the copyright-just sharing this image as it is the closest I have found to the effects I am trying to achieve.)

I have tried working with some watersheds to get the layering/shadow depth effect but it's just not working as I would like. Does anyone have any tips i can explore to get this type of effect?
Thank you!

    I would also incorporate some kind of self-modulated warp effect.

    And recursive processing where you run the processing recursively in a loop multiple times.

    I'll try to put together something to show off what i'm talking about, and post that here later.

    Made using a combination of Displacement and Smart Blur image ops. Are you accustomed to using Paint Action Sequences?

      i wish there was a way to attch files to these replies. I could show screenshots of the two Image Op setings panels if you'd like. Or contact me and I could email. victor@victrolux.xom

        A three step paseq. Here are the steps.

        1. Erase canvas to source image
        2. Displacement (image operation) step (see screenshot below)
        3. Smart Blur (image operation) step (see screenshot below)

        You load source image of your choice into source area. Vary the amount of displacement (top slider in each ImOp) and the # of repetitions (near the bortom of each panel) to experient with the look you want.

        There are many ways to do this sort of thing. But this may be one way to start experimenting.

new features

I know this is huge ask, but it would be super helpful to be able to create  MSGs and PASEQs, programatically. This would vastly increase the animation potential of SA.We can create individual MSG, right now, but it is a manual and labor intensive operaton, and even then there are operations that you just can't do in the current animation set up. Being able to create large number of either MSG or PASEQ, using a program interface would be huge.

Why would MSG Advanced Editor be out of sync with Evolution Editor

What I mean by this, is that when I select one of the thumbnails from the Evolution Editor screen, I would expect that the thumbail in the MSG Advanced Editor screen would be the same.In an MSG I created, only using the MSG, Inspire control I came accross this case.  The image that is created, matches the Advanced Editor Image, not the one I want, from the the Evolution Editor Image.None of the parameters in any of the SRC's are muted, so I know that none of the color channels are getting…

Love to the island of Maui

Hi, everyone, John and Candice especially.I've been watching the news and the fire on Maui, and it is just devastating.

My wish is that you are physically safe, and surrounded by Ohana.If there is anything we can do from the mainland, material help, a favorite charity, please let me know. That walk on Front Street was my…
