Question about user sliders in MSGs

Hi John (and everyone), in older versions (3.x) of Studio Artist, if you saved out an MSG with a "user slider" set in a TG (temporal generator), the user slider would show up in the MSG control panel.  I'm having some trouble finding where the user sliders for MSG temporal generators show up in SA4.  Thanks!

  • hi thor: ...The initial release of Studio Artist 4 does not support the old 3.5 limited user slider functionality for MSG presets. That support may return in a future update...

    I 've also had some troubles with my old 3.5-presets, that I saved with usersliders-TGs, and it took some time to find out, that I had to delete this settings to run them cleanly again in v4. (it was irritating, because there is still an option to select them in the msg advanced editor.)

    I wish the "user sliders" back in a future version.

  • Max's reply covers the 2 version 4 issues with the user slider TG option. User sliders are not currently implemented in Studio Artist version 4. We hope to bring them back at some point in the Editor when in MSG operation mode. They were essential in 3.5, since detailed MSG editing was done in a separate application called MSG Evolver, and you needed them to have some user adjustable control over MSG presets in Studio Artist..

    The other thing that MAX points out is that you should really turn off slider TG's in version 4 to avoid confusion, since they will change the parameter but there's not interface slider to work with, so you will see one thing in the preview display and another in the main canvas when you run the MSG effect.

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?
