  • Look in the paint presets for wet wash or canvas processing paint presets.  There are tons of them that do this kind of wet wash out thing.

  • I posted a super simple example of this kind of thing on my art blog the other day.

    I just used a factory wet water drip paint preset.

    I started by setting the selection buffer to an image of the text.  White (full on) for the text letters, black (full off) for the background of the selection.

    Then i turned on the selection masking checkbox in the main operation toolbar, and erased to the source color.

    I then inverted the selection, and ran the water drip paint preset with the masking on.

     

    There are millions of variations of this kind of approach.  Depending on what  you use for the dissipation part, you can change the look of it.  Random noise displacement would be a more dry example of a different kind of dispersive application.

    simple Text Bleed
      Someone asked about creating a text wet bleed effect on the Studio Artist user forum.  It's pretty simple to make one.

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…
