GS: force masking

I want to experiment with a bunch of finished artworks.
Is it possible to set the GS only with focus doing the auto masking-functions and mute all other generative effects that touch my sources?
For the main-technique I want to use an io-preset that does only some light adjustments. thank you

  • So you can put whatever presets you want in a custom favorites folder,  make that folder the current favorites folder, then run the current favorites main technique.

    So if you only have one preset in there, then it will just run that one preset.

    Mutate Current Favorites would always be mutating it, so it would be different parameter settings each time it runs.

    But using Current Favorites doesn't change the preset parameters in any way.

     

    Turn off everything else.

    There is a gallery show quick edit under action : gallery show that lets you Initialize gallery show, so that is a great fast way to turn off everything.

     

    If you use the Fixed Image ip op, then your technique is just going to pass through whatever the Ip Source is set to.

    Sa V5.5.5 Fixe Image IpOp has some extra effects built into it, so make sure those are turned off if you are using that version for this particular thing you want to do.

     

    So then if you turn on the auto-masking part of gallery show, it is juts going to automask  the main technique output, which is the Fixed Image ip op passing the source image through.

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

The Overload

"The Overload"! A video with music, from the various experiments I made in Studio Artist with stuff that I have learned in the last few days, from tips and tricks I found by scouring this site and the Synthetik site for tutorials etc. MSG! Paint Synth with MSG Path Generation! Movie Brushes with MSG Path Start Generation! Time Particles! Time Particles with MSG Path Start Generation running Movie Brushes! All that, and more! Haha I have been trying to stretch the Paint Synthesizer in the…

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…
