I thought it might be a useful exercise to run through some introductory tutorial material associated with how digital images are represented digitally. And how one can work with the components of these different representation to build visual effec
As a proof of concept, I need to make, say, 10 - 20 (ultimately 1,000) variations (random at first) of a single source image and save them all to disk. What would be the best way to do that? Thanks for any suggestions.
I'm making a mosaic but I want my paint nibs or brush to be masked in the shape I draw or I want to rotate the contents of the brush in real-time as I draw. I don't want the whole image to show in the shape that I draw, only the part I need (like mas
I see references to Style-related functionaltiy in various places in 5.5.5 (like File > LoadStyle, Canvas > Canvas to Style, MSG Prefs > Palette Option > Gen from Style and probably other places I'm not remembering right now). Can't find anything
Fully automatic art image and/or preset generation. Define your artistic strategy, then sit back, grab some coffee or a glass of wine, watch Studio Artist build your personal ar
Does anyone know if there's a way to limit the times a image can be used when auto-painting a mosaic? I have 2000 unigue images that I only want to be used once each (I have others that can be used as many times as needed). Is there a way to regulate
I come from a Photoshop background to make my photo art, and I work in IT, but even after watching a bunch of tutorials, poring through the user guide and searching in these forums, I keep getting held up by one obstacle after another in even just se
I am having trouble figuring out this site's (ning) html embed code to embed a Vimeo movie in a blog post so it shows in both the list of posts and the post itself. Currently I only have code that embeds the movie in the post itself... but the movie
Anyone paying attention would probably have noticed that we keep talking about the importance of workspace resolution vs final output resolution. And how in many situations they can be pretty radically different.
I posted a little short tutorial this morning on my personal art blog that shows an approach one can use to insure that a photo mosaic image generated by the paint synthesizer maintains the absolute rigid geometry of the tiling generated by the Path
I've got a 720 x 480 animation that I need to resize to 1280 x 720. I resized the canvas to 1280 x720, loaded the animation, recorded a single Erase Canvas to Source image, and set the # of frames/steps in the PASeq area to the number of frames in th
An early experiment of keyframing various parameters. This is also a test of how to post videos to this new version of Ning... since there is no video gallery now.
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…
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?
Both these two SRCs have # Shape parameters.Does anyone here use these two parameters?I'm wondering if there is any way to control the parameters of the shapes themselves. size, angles, location etc.I've made some interesting composition, and would love to know how to make changes like, 'Rotate this shape' or move this shape etc. Thank!
I'd like to export a canvas as a .tiff/.tif image file to a folder I made on my desktop.I select that from a dropdown menu, I can name the exported file, change the extension, etc, and I press save but nothing happens.It's always worked until now. It seems like a simple task. Any ideas?I'm on Mac OSX 12.6, if that matters, and my system hasn't changed since the last time I was able to export successfully.Thanks
