Hi all,
Beside my usual ask about being given a way to programmaticly run MSG, I'd like to see:
I've been working on an MSG, that uses the SRC, SetToRandomEdgeMask, along with Invert, 1ToFloatSumArea and 1ModBlurFloatSumArea
I know this is huge ask, but it would be super helpful to be able to create MSGs and PASEQs, programatically. This would vastly increase the animation potential of SA.
We can create individual MSG, right now, but it is a manual and labor intensive op
Read more…What I mean by this, is that when I select one of the thumbnails from the Evolution Editor screen, I would expect that the thumbail in the MSG Advanced Editor screen would be the same.
In an MSG I created, only using the MSG, Inspire control I came ac

I was playing around with GenAdvTurb, trying to use it as a face mask, for a project I was working on.
It works nicely, when the image is directly f

When I wanted to isolate the behavior of one or two parameters, I had to lock everything but t

How do I know what MSG, is being used, and how would I change it?
Thanks

Is there anyway to copy a favorite MSG options and Paste all to MSG Advanced Editor?
Read more…I've been running a lot of experiments recently working with keyframed MSG animations. These are usually totally procedural, but you can also set things up to process the source image (or canvas) with the MSG effect if you want to.

The preset in question, has the value set to .000840386
This value gives me a very fine grained look, to the canvas, I'm playing with.
The editor makes it impossible

Read more…So I've been playing around with the vectorizer and msg to create selection masks and I'm a little confused.
When I create region selections manually using the lasso, it usually results in a high contrast greyscale mask. The non selected regions s

Read more…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

Read more…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…
