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.

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
