The painting is all automatically created using Studio Artist V5.5.5 gallery show generative ai paint (no presets involved). I was working with a folder of curated source imagery (nuclear dawn) with some symmetry data augmentation turned on. I streamed the gallery show cycle output into an image folder, then loaded that into a Transition Context and did a 2X time expansion out into a movie file.
I loaded that movie file as my source, then constructed a new Transition Context that keyframes a 'man dancer' movie file with 90 frame separation between the transition keyframes (so the movie instances are transition algorithm interpolated as they both play between different keyframes). I added some additional key-framed interactive warp commands to slowly build different symmetry configurations from the transition interpolated 'man dancers' in the canvas. I then used the Temporal Displace IpOp effect to spatially time displace my generative paint source movie based on the manipulated man dancers which were used as a temporal displacement modulation matte.
This approach to using a displacement modulation matte to add secondary structure to a painting is a great way to add controlled structure to any image or movie, but especially effective for pulling structure out of non-structured imagery. My previous post did this using a spatial warp (displacement within a single movie frame) as opposed to this example using a temporal warp (displacement across multiple movie frames). So another tool to add to your toolkit.
