I was trying to create a real flat structurally simple paint look. The Mondo Simplify image operation (Ip Op) effect is a big part of this. But i'm using it within a recursive processing loop as opposed to directly using it as the finished effect. Rather than working off of a fixed source image, i'm using both a Flow Transition Context (piped to the source rather than the canvas) as well as a second Transition Ip Op effect (again flow algorithm 50% transitioning the canvas to the source) that transition over 20 frames to build the structure over time. The Mondo Simplify IpOp effect is used to process the previous canvas output image prior to running the Transition Ip Op effect on it in my recursive processing paint action sequence (PASeq).
You could use a series of well thought out source images you either pick from somewhere or photograph yourself as the keyframes for the transition content. By 'well thought out' i mean you want the images to flow transition together in a way that further whatever particualr artistic vision you are trying to pursue.
What i specifically did to create my folder of source images was to take a photo i shot on the south shore of Maui, and then build a CLIP image embedding from my photo image that was then used to drive a generative ai image synthesis algorithm. So all of my source images are generative images derived off of my original photo. This is a new ai approach to generative image synthesis that does not use any text prompting. So i end up with a folder of generative source images specifically derived off of my photo that i then use as a source folder of images for Studio Artist processing.
