ModBook Pro Released

The ModBook Pro is a 3rd party transformed Apple MacBook Pro. The transformed computer is a pen and tablet style mac computer. It's been in the news for awhile this year, but you can finally buy one. It's not inexpensive, but i thought i'd pass along the info for anyone interested. Seems like it would be fun to run Studio Artist on it.

  • The later iMac, although magnificent to behold as well as being powerful was a bit of a disappointment. No touch screen. That would have destroyed whatever competition they had in that price range.
  • I agree.  It does look like it'd be fun and its soooo not inexpensive.  I wonder how the get around the licensing agreements for OS X?

    • They buy Apple macbook pros and then modify them to make the tablet.

  • and a SA version for IPAD ? ....

    • Given the amount of development time it would take, that would be an impossibility.

      Also, consider the amount of cpu and ram it would need.

    • I bought the IPAD retina version, can now use SA on it and paint with fingers...

  • *drool*

  • Well this half answers the question I logged in to ask. Is there a way to change the cursor for live performance/screen recording situations within Studio Artist on a Mac? I have an upcoming video project wherein I would like to do some paint effects that paint on the screen but obviously do not want a cursor in the image. Suggestions?

    • There are 2 preference options associated with live performance in the General tab of the main preference dialog. The Full Screen Display options, and the Full Screen Cursor option. You can set the cursor to hide there when in full screen display.

      Here's a tip on some Live Visual Performance features.

      • Thanks! Awesome as usual.

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…
