Got the email on this...Pretty Wild

Hey John,

Thanks so much for this and everything you've done for the SA community. I've been away from SA and the DMN forums for a bit and this is a great reason to meet some new folks and become re-acquainted with others.

Thanks for your time and your talents.

hey john!! :))

hi John,
i noticed you talking to frank N saying.....
"I tend to focus on coming up with ways to abstract 2D form and watching this makes me think that having some effects that abstract motion itself might be useful for things like dance applications."

I had been thinking how interesting it would be to have "look-ahead/behind" based filters, auto-region selection & vector grabbing. It would be similar to the technique used in video compression - calculating and filtering differences in the pixel state for every frame - and then comparing it to preceding and following frames. I'm sure you can imagine one million ways to have fun with this. Then your modular synth would have an envelope follower/multi-band delay! (or something..)

Are you aware of the Association of Personal Computer User Groups, http://www.apcug.net/ ? You can look up local user groups on that site. They would probably like a demonstration of Studio Artist.

Thanks, John... That's part of the overall plan. My goal is to complete 200 images (I am halfway there now) and then edit them down for a gallery show. And then a book. I may even have enough imagery to complete 300 images with Studio Artist. I have been looking into self publishing using print on demand. The publishers give very little in return. Hopefully after the show and book I will have the courage to learn and create an animated film using SA and the imagery. I have been reading up on the history of Coney Island and it's a great mirror reflecting just how far down our world has sunken creatively and in other ways. I have never been so commited to anything before. Working with SA is such a pleasure and a great source of creative freedom. I keep trying new things and am slowly getting the feel for a small part of the software. Lately using the bezier curves to create masks has been the new toy I have been playing with. At first I hated it compared to illustrator. Now I feel it is more fluid and a fun challenge.

Next days I will try new uploads. Thanks,

I got a new Mac and have 3.5 on my old Mac. I can't find the number to install 3.5 again. I have a number for 3.0, but lost the upgrade number for 3.5. What should I do?

Hi! My hard drive crashed, but I hesitate putting SA on my new HD because version 3.5 is ppc, not universal binary. Should I wait for version 4.0 and is 4.0 going to be Universal binary? Or is there a patch for 3.5 to make it intelmac friendly? I really want to make the best use out of the intel mac horsepower. Thanks! - Jim C.
