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.

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?

Having difficulty exporting canvas as image

I'd like to export a canvas as a .tiff/.tif image file to a folder I made on my desktop.I select that from a dropdown menu, I can name the exported file, change the extension, etc, and I press save but nothing happens.It's always worked until now. It seems like a simple task. Any ideas?I'm on Mac OSX 12.6, if that matters, and my system hasn't changed since the last time I was able to export successfully.Thanks
