I've been thinking a lot recently about how current approaches to multi-modal ai generative image synthesis works when contextualized against more traditional approaches for drawing and painting. And also how it compares to the whole notion of spati
A question came up recently about an image i posted that was made by embedding an Image Operation (IpOp) effect into the paint synthesizer. This post is a little tutorial that explains how that works.
Tech support asked me about a question that came in from a user, which was whether one could output the current contents of the bezier path frame as a svg file.
The answer is yes, but it's not as straightforward as a simple menu export command. We'l
I have a video that, when I import it into Studio Artist as a source video, appears upside down. In other applications, including the quicktime player, it appears and plays back right side up. Any ideas of what's happening?
Can I fill the shapes I created with Vectorizer with my own images? Is there a way to do it with SA? Or is there a way to convert the shape I created with Vectorizer into a bezier path?
I've been working on it for days but couldn't find it. I would
I am interested in recording using the 'assisted drawing' fearture. I come from a Corel Painter background that allows you to load a source image on to the canvas (set to very light opacity - say 5%) - this becomes a good reference to target. W
I tend to lag behind on MacOS updates... on purpose. Is SA 5 safe for use in Monterey 12.3.1? I'm still in Big Sur. Tho, frankly, was holding out for Compton!
I am wondering if somene can direct me in the right direction to achieve this tyrpe of effect? (This is not my work and I do not own the copyright-just sharing this image as it is the closest I have found to the effects I am trying to achieve
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…
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"! 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…
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…
