Action step to interface

I haven't used this feature in a while so I may be missing something but I'm pretty sure the last time I used it, all the changes I had made using the editor were copied back on top of the step in the paseq I was using.

This is my work flow:

1) Open PASEQ

2) Import target PASEQ

3) Highlight PASEQ step I want to change

4) Select Action Step to Interface

5) Change Interface parameter, ( max stroke in this case ), from 10 to 300

6) Select Interface to Action Step

7) Play select Action step.

The number of strokes didn't change. When I selected Action step to interface again, the old values showed up on the interface.

Essentially what I am doing is replacing the brushes used in some paseqs; replacing them with new ones and changing the number of strokes and a few other values, being used.

  • hmm. I changed other parameters and they all got copied back to the action step. Only max strokes was not copied. Is this intentional? I can understand that max strokes would not be used if the work were done manually but is would be convenient if max strokes could be copied along with all the other parameters.

    • Yes, it is intentional. To copy Max Stroke as well, hold down the shift and option keys when you click to record the new keyframe cell.

      ...

      The reason why we did that is so that people can swap in a different preset while retaining the original number of paint strokes drawn. most presets have Max Stroke set to 40000 with the assumption that you will manually stop the preset at the appropriate time. So if you option click recorded those and Max Stroke was copied over then that action step would run forever.

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
