  • I got an email that seemed suspicious from that email address. Isearched it in the web and found complaints about spam coming from that address and advising others not to respond.

    Good Day,
    How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:( mrsstellakhalil5888@gmail.com ) for the full details.
    Have a nice day
    Thanks God bless
    Stella.

  • I also had the email.... now deleted...

  • Yep. Got one myself. I suspect someone is harvesting emails to sell for spam purposes.

    Before approving a new forum applicant have them submit some quality artwork as part of their application :)

    Here is something I am working on this morning, for retroactive approval.

    • Cool image. Feel free to post it and others to the photo gallery.

      • I've got a ton on images I am working on using modifications of the original preset. The best are going up on my web gallery (https://farshore.smugmug.com/Art-Work/Digital-drawing), but I have so far only thinned the herd down to two galleries. More coming later.

        Thanks for the compliment, and thanks for SA.

  • When we boot someone for spam, any content they posted here is deleted from the forum.  But any emails they sent to members you will still get unfortunately if they have already been sent.

    I go back and forth on only letting people who match up on the official customer list join, which is what i was doing for awhile.  But there are some people who are legitimate trial users who want to join to ask questions before they possibly purchase. So recently i've started letting those people in.  Guess i'll stop that again.

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…
