  • The way gallery show works in V5.5 is as follows.

    Each gallery how (GS) cycle takes the following form below.

    1: Start Cycle processing

    2: Auto-mask selection generation (if turned on).  The auto-mask selection is then applied to the rest of the GS cycle (main technique and end cycle).

    3: Main Technique

    4: End Cycle processing.

     

    So if you want to do what you described,

    step1: paseq1

    step2: masking

    step3: paseq2

    then you could setup GS as follows

    start cycle - use paseq1

    setup the auto mask option for what you want to use

    main technique -use paseq2

     

    You could make 2 favorites folders, one that contains paseq1, and the other than contains paseq2.

    You could set your current favorites folder to be the paseq1 folder, and setup start cycle processing to use the current favorites.

    You could set your process folder to the paseq2 folder, and then set your main technique to use the process folder.

     

    There are other ways you could set it up.  But in V5.5 if you want to use specific preset files for things like start cycle, end cycle, main technique, then the easiest way to do it is to drop them in a folder, and then associate the folder with the specific part of the GS cycle you want them to run in.

    In the next version we are working on you have additional options to setup gallery show, like gallery show memories, a second process folder, etc.  The new memories make it easy to try out different gallery show configurations on the fly quickly.

    If you put multiple preset folder in the folder you are using for a particular part of the GS cycle, then one of the preset files in the folder is randomly selected and used for the current GS cycle.  This allows you to build variability into the art process you are building as your custom GS cycle.

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?
