Automatic photo collage generated using a movie brush primarily made out of old constructivist movie poster images, with a few divergent variants thrown in. Inspired by some of Lucas's recent posts.

ok I think you can ignore the question. I was thinking and mentally referencing movie brush based photo mosaics. I searched and read up on Photo collage. Which is what this is and am pretty sure that I grok the process. Very cool stuff. I definitely liked your "demolition man." NOW if you can provide a spider that automatically culls "relevant" images from the net ... ;-)
You can just directly use a folder of images in the development code for the next version (as opposed to being forced to use a movie file). So something to look forward to in the future.
As far as what you can do right now:
You can get different sized brush images from a movie brush source by using brush modulation to resize the nib. Or by using region fill as brush pen mode to define the size of the filled region.
Or by using an embedded alpha channel in the movie brush along with source brush alpha as the brush type.

So can we get different size movie brush images from the same brush stack now? or is that still dev. code.

Some of those look familiar. ;-)
