Textures

Ran into a spot of trouble trying to apply surface textures to an image in v.4. Two sets of textures do not show up as a list in the preset area and have to be imported individually and when applied they all render the same. In 3.5 they were fine. They are paperandcanvastextures and surfacetextures. I believe they are properly located, see image. The other texture presets in the list are fine, only these 2 are troublesome. How to fix?

  • Dee, i have played with these 'linden textures' from within MSG as they are in the MSG presets collection and they work fine from there...any help?
  • i meant to say...MSG-factory-users-surface textures
  • thanks, mark, didn't think to look there as they were in the TexSynth folder pictured, but i see them now and will use them from the MSG folder.
  • The preset browser assumes that anything in the factory preset hierarchy is the appropriate type of preset. For example, if you are looking at Texture Synthesizer presets and a MSG preset got dropped into the TexSynth folder in one of the category folders in there, the MSG presets will not show up in the browser list of texture synthesizer presets.

    Preset file drag and drop on the application icon will always open up the preset. And favorites folders allow for mix and match of different preset types.
    • Sorted that one out by putting it into the MSG folder, but now I have the same situation with "papersandcanvastextures"--where does it belong? or is it best to just drag and drop on the app icon as you suggest?
      • I don't seem to have that particular preset so i can't comment directly on it. You could drag and drop to see what it is and then move it to the appropriate place if it's in the wrong place.
      • "Paperandcanvastextures" are paint presets so drop them in the presets folder or make a special subfolder and put that in the paint presets folder. The link to my original post that describes a bit of what these presets are doing is here: https://studioartist.ning.com/forum/topics/paper-textures
        • I thought they were your work, but lost track and left them in limbo. Now know where they should go-thanks!

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?
