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…

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?
Read more…Adding shapes to MSG SRC 3C Abstract CG or 3C Abstract CP or
Both these two SRCs have # Shape parameters.Does anyone here use these two parameters?I'm wondering if there is any way to control the parameters of the shapes themselves. size, angles, location etc.I've made some interesting composition, and would love to know how to make changes like, 'Rotate this shape' or move this shape etc. Thank!
Read more…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

The post and discussion on this process is invaluable. And you've given us some neat stuff here to play with and to de- and reconstruct.
One question though. You outlined the way to colorize the movie frames relative to the source colors, but in choosing your images to go into the movie [brush] do you usually try to get an assortment of images that range light to dark, or does it seem to matter much? Some of the edge definition of your subject that you've gotten recently really [to my eye] is keeping the subject accessible without drowning it in the technique, and this to my way of thinking is a good thing. My own attempts at movie brush/mosaic paintings have been unsatisfying because of that problem and I think you've shed some very helpful light on how to get beyond that [problem]. Tanks again.
You could do something like an adaptive block regionize and then pile on top some additional regions using normal path start sampling and the 'grow region from start point' path shape and the region as brush pen mode. Or a second path start regionize pass with Paint Fill Apply Nib Masking set to local image range to get more edge definition.
Another thing i've been doing recently is adding a vectorized black outline with 40-60% transparency. You can use the outline vectorizer technique, or you can generate an edge outline with some other technique and then vectorize that.
And as i mentioned in the recent paint strategy news blog post, i have various finishing techniques i always use to fine tune images before saving.
I am in the process of exploring them.
Didn't work for version 4 ?
I import brushmov, then not appear and so PASeq and preset
Just worked for me fine using SA 4.06 on a mac. When you download brickMovieBrushEx.zip file, after decompressing the zip file you get a brickMoviebrushEx folder, containing the movie, a paseq, and several paint presets. the paint presets and the paseq preset all work for me, i just ran them.
The mac's idiot gatekeeper security barks a stupid warning message when you try to open them on recent versions of osx, but you can manually override that by going to the Security panel in the main mac System Preferences and hitting the button that says open them anyway.
Are you on windows by any chance? Maybe an issue with the mac zip compression not decompressing properly on your windows system. We have seen that before.
