Adding text (algorithm) into presets.

Hi everybody,

 

HNY from Europe.

 

I have a question and hopefully, the answer is not to complicated.

 

I work a lot with the Vectorizer mode. Is there a way to add some sort of text option in an existing preset. So I can add one or more words and then play with the outcome?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Paul

  • There isn't any way to directly add and work with text to a vectorizer preset like you can do in the paint synthesizer. 

    You could of course take a raster image of some text and use that as your source input for the vectorizer to process.

    The text image could be loaded as the source, or you could have it in the canvas and some other image for coloring the vectorizer processing in the source area.

    The Vectorizer has separate controls you can adjust for the Vectorizer Source (what is used as the input to the region shape generation algorithms),

    10928075261?profile=RESIZE_400x

    and for the Color Source (the input used to build coloring for the generated regions).

    10928075295?profile=RESIZE_400x

    So if you setup the Vectorizer Source to be the Current Layer, and the Color Source to be the Source, then what is currently in the canvas would be used to build the shape output, and what is currently in the source area would be used to build the coloring for the shapes.  So you could put a rasterized text image in the canvas, and some image with the coloring you want in the source, and then vectorize the text image while getting the coloring from the the source.

     

    You can embed the Vectorizer into the paint synthesizer, and the paint synthesizer does let you work with text as source brushes or as background textures. So that could be another approach to work with the vectorizer and text, depending on what you are specifically trying to do.

    If you are interested in this i can try and come up with an example.  Dropping text into vectorized regions, or painting in the region boundaries (or various path fill patterns inside of the regions) with text are 2 different approaches you could try.

On the closure of the User Forum : An open letter to John Dalton

Hi John I have no idea what you are going through. However the impact you have made not to continue with the user forum and your desire keep it as a permanent feature as promised in the past is a big shock. It also betrays the faith and love we have shown in you and Studio Artist.  Bluntly spoken, it sucks. That you have chosen to follow this direction in silence, allowing no compassion or understanding on our part is a betrayal of the deepest level. What is going on? This is not the John…

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?
