Play back of recorded brush strokes issue

Hi,

I'm using the SA 5.01 on OSX 10.13.6, using a Wacom4 anf the latest 2018 driver.

Playing back simple brush strokes is giving results that are not the same as were recorded.

Whats been happening, is that at some point in a record stroke, the brush will jitter at one or points, and draw a blob. It will eventually continue with the original stroke.

Has this behavior been observed before?

Tony

  • Actually, from the images I posted, the replay only follows the path. It is not laying down the strokes that were recorded, even when not "jittering".

    • Here's some more information.

      1. The same thing happens with recoded mouse strokes and recorded Trackpad strokes.
      2. Each time I play back the same steps, I get a different result.

      The brush stroke I am using is, Paint Synthesizer Classic, AutoPaint - WaterColor Splatter

  • If you are working with a paint stroke that doesn't have a lot of randomization in it, then the path and associated paint variations are going to play back accurately. As you start adding randomization and other things into the paint preset, they can affect what happens when the path is played back (giving you something similar, but different in fine details). So a pressure modulated tube of paint is going to playback very accurately. But something with a lot of randomization is going 

    There's a lot going on in that particular paint preset you are working with. Autodraw Interactive pen mode, dual vector raster paint with a 2 path application repeat, uniform random path angle for the auto-drawing, conical spray path randomization, etc.

    • Keep in mind that with the autodraw interactive pen mode you are using, the 'path' that is recorded is the original movement of the pen or cursor, not the automatically drawn paths that are spun off of that user defined path. The auto-drawn parts are regenerated by paint synth autodrawing each time the action step is run. 

      • Gottcha. I'll look more more closely, and try to reduce the randomization.

Is anybody making a copy of all the material in the Tutorials Forum

Since the Forum is going away in June, has anyone started to make a copy of all the stuff in the Tutorials forum?I've made copies of some of the tutorial material on the main site, but haven't looked at the Tutorial Forum yet.I'm going to continue copying as much as I can for my own personal use anyway, but if anyone else is doing it, or has already started doing it, please let me know.Maybe we can co-ordinate our efforts. ps can't ..... believe John, would let this happen without so much as a…

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!

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…
