Line Drawings

I asked about finding edges but so far no reply. Perhaps I am using the wrong language. I want to create a vector line drawing from my photographs with no shadings. Is this possible in SA? If so, how?

  • Here a basic setup with editor panel of the vectorizer :

    You can choose any vectorizer preset and just adjust vector edge blend % to 100% and vector fill blend % to 0 (detail of drawing panel) if you just want lines....

  • 2472685934?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024The vectorizer is one avenue to edges in SA. There are many others. Explore the Path commands. Generate paths from source edges, adjacent edges, from the vectorizer etc. Then you can use the paint paths (command-k on a mac) to trace those edges. This will allow you a great amount of freedom in the type of line that you draw.

    • other possibilities exist in the ImOp commands :: sketch edge :: sketch mass. The MSG could also yield some interesting results. The Texturizer is more limited in edge creation but can also be used.

      • What is Imop and how do I use it?

  • For image operation effects, try Color Edge, Edge, or Sketch Edge. Depending on what you are trying to achieve, Sketch Mass might also be of interest to you.

    It's also possible to configure the paint synthesizer to generate hard contrast sketch effects. And you can always generate bezier paths from the source edges (Path : Generate Paths : From Source Edges), and then paint them in with black vector paint (Path : Paint Paths : Full Layer) if you wish.

  • Here are some tips on generating sketch effects.

    Here are some effects blog articles on different approaches to sketch effects.

  • Thanks. I have to leave town for a few days But I will try all of these when I return. Thanks again.

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?
