Autopaint Action Glitch

Hey, so I really love the updates with the new version 5.5, I was having a lot of crashes with the previous edition but all that seems cleared up now. 

However, I've been experiencing an issue with the auto paint function in paint-synthesizer classic recently, that seems to only crop up on vertically oriented pictures (I don't know why that is) & seems to be an issue across the board with all presets except for a few outliers (I don't know why some work as intended either).

Whenever I run "paint action sequence" the image renders approximately 2/3rds down from the top correctly, & then from an oddly consistent point downwards it just clones the same color & shape values into vertical lines that continue downwards to the bottom. 

Changing the parameters of the function doesn't fix anything, & I can't find a consistent pattern that explains why some functions are exempt from this problem, I just know the issue is only present within synthesizer classic's "auto paint" operation.

I've attached some examples to show what I mean, please let me know if anyone has some ideas, suggestions, or if anyone else has experienced this problem.

  • There was an issue like this in the original V5.5 release.  The V5.5.4 version currently in your myaccount installer downloads fixes that issue in the paint synthesizer.

    Someone else ran into something like this when they used a 16 bit image as their source.  You would want to convert them to 8 bit per channel color images before opening them as sources in V5.5.4.

    • That's great to hear!

      I'm looking at the dowloads page on myaccount, & just see the downloads for 5.0 & 5.5 I originally installed, do I just redownload the 5.5 & it will automatically be the 5.5.4?

      • Yes, the V5.5 installer in your myaccount will always have the latest V5.5 update in it.

  • I had the same glitch, but it's now fixed in 5.5.4. A little jarring to see mouths disappear at the bottom of portraits.

    • lol, you're just casually letting it do it's thing when all the sudden the portrait turns into one of those horrifying long-mouth edits

      • Yes, like when Neo loses his mouth in The Matrix.

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

Teenage Tongue Cult

Hi, here is the video I made back in 2010 for my song "Teenage Tongue Cult". I finally found my master folder of image sequence files for it on one of my old hard drives, and since the version I had on my Vimeo was of pretty terrible pixelated low quality visually, I re-did it yesterday. It has extensive use of Studio Artist through the whole thing. I made it by first animating the characters and scenes in Flash, against a mostly kind of muddy green background, a color I knew wasn't being used…
