In Paint Synthesizer Classis,
One of the settings under the Generator value, is Vectorizer Regionize. One if its parameters, PSR Source, has a value called MSG
How do I know what MSG, is being used, and how would I change it?
Thanks

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…

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

Read more…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…

Yes, V5.5.5 introduced the ability to change what is coming into the Path Start Regionization options for the Generator in the Path Start control panel.
This feature is kind of a 'work in progress' thing, and is being more fully worked out in pre_V6.
Before we added this, the path start regionization algorithms all used the current source.
If you switch it to MSG, then the current MSG preset is what is coming into the path start regionization algorithms.
You can edit the current MSG preset in the MSG Advanced Editor. Or you can create new ones using the Evolution Editor. Or just load in new factor or custom MSG presets.
Paint Synthesizer presets have the ability to embed MSG presets inside of them. They can also embed IpOp or Vectoerizer presets inside of them as well.
There is a MSG Save in Preset option in the Miscellaneous control panel of the paint synthesizer. If it is turned on, then the current MSG preset will embed in the paint synthesizer preset when you save it. If you open a paint synthesizer preset with an embedded SG preset inside of it, then the MSG settings will be loaded as well as the paint synth settings, and the embedded MSG preset will become the current MSG settings in the MSG Advanced Editor.
Wow!
That's a pretty powerful option..
The default MSG, was creating some unwanted effects, but now that I know what to do, I'm excited to find out how far it will take me.
