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

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.
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…
