MSG Streamers 3


Still working on adding some features to the new MSG streamer processor.

MSG Streamers 2


More experiments with MSG streamer abstraction effects.

MSG Streamers


Trying out some ideas for a new Studio Artist MSG processor for building abstract imagery.

Eye Detection


I've been playing around with using eye detection routines to enhance detail in abstraction presets so that facial details are still preserved in the abstracted image. Here's an example of what i mean by this associated with a Studio Artist vectorizer preset.

Paia Town Center


Typical afternoon street view of Paia town center. Generated from video footage processed with the Studio Artist temporal scan tracker.

Gallery Show Abstraction 2


Another abstract image grabbed from a gallery show test run during Studio Artist 4.03 testing. More auto-mutation of paint action sequences.

Paia Streetside


Typical afternoon streetside view in Paia. Generated by processing some video footage with the Studio Artist 4 temporal scan tracker.

Gallery Show Abstraction


Cool image that caught my eye during some gallery show testing for Studio Artist 4.03. This was generated by automatically mutating factory PASeq presets. Pretty wild effect, i have no idea how Studio Artist made it. Which is guess is one of the cool things about this kind of use of gallery show.

BW Abstraction


I really liked how this came out. It looks like an ink spill at first. Another image from the recent series generated by auto-mutating PASeq factory presets during gallery show testing for Studio Artist 4.03.

Baby Toss


Another random abstract sketch image created while running some Gallery Show tests using the randomize factory paint action sequence technique. So it's running auto-mutated PASeq presets for the gallery show in Studio Artist 4.03.

Crayons


Nice soft paint effect created while running some gallery show tests in Studio Artist 4.03. I'm mutating factory paint action sequences for my gallery show technique.

Gallery Show Sketch 2


Another sketch effect generated during some gallery show testing. This one has a nice abstract primitive feel to it.

Gallery Show Sketch


Interesting sketch effect that popped out of some gallery show testing for Studio Artist 4.03.

Paia Storefront


This started with some video footage shot out the side window of a moving car while driving through Paia. The final static image was generated by processing the source video with the Studio Artist 4 temporal scan tracker followed by some additional Studio Artist image processing effects.

Paia Produce


Generated from some video footage shot out the side window of a moving car while driving through Paia. Video source processed with the Studio Artist 4 temporal scan tracker.

Oahu H3 Curve


View of Kaneohe Bay taken while driving on the H3 on Oahu. One of the 3 interstate highways in Hawaii, 1,2,3. I think the H3 has the distinction of being the most expensive highway to construct in America. The static image was generated in Studio Artist 4 by processing some video footage taken out the window of a moving car with the temporal scan tracker.

MSG Render 2


Another abstract procedural art image generated via directed evolution of MSG processors. Testing some of the new MSG processors in Studio Artist 4.03.

MSG Render


Procedural image generated with MSG processors created in Studio Artist 4.

Oahu Rent a Car


Scan tracker image generated from some video footage taken in the airport rental car lot on Oahu.

Paia Stoplight


Some Studio Artist 4 scan tracker output generated from a video pan taken while waiting for the stoplight in Paia.

Makawao 4th


4th of july flags out in full force in Makawao. Generated by processing some source video footage taken out the window of a moving car while driving down the main drag in Makawao with the temporal scan tracker in Studio Artist 4.

Makawao Slit Scan


Slit scan image generated by processing some video footage taken out the side window of a moving car in Makawao. I using the temporal scan tracker in Studio Artist 4 to process a source video file into the final slit scan image.

Movie Background Texture


I've been playing around with using movie background textures as an alternative to movie source brushes. One nice thing about movie background textures is that you can work at the full res of the individual frame images while randomizing positioning. A lot of movie source brush effects map the frame image into the current brush nib or region fill as brush area. I'm also using the movie background texture to provide texturing to a paint brush that paints with solid color.

Graffiti Brush 3


Another photo mosaic test using a graffiti movie brush and path start regionization in the Studio Artist paint synthesizer. Again i'm colorizing the movie brush frames on the fly using image processing brush load to build this particular effect style.

Graffiti Brush 2


Another graffiti movie brush test using the paint synthesizer to generate photo mosaic effects in Studio Artist 4.

New Vector Procedural Patterns 2


Another example generated while testing a new MSG processor that generates abstract vector shapes.

Monday, July 5, 2010

New Vector Procedural Patterns


Some experiments with another new Studio Artist MSG processor that generates abstract procedural vector art patterning.

Sunday, July 4, 2010

Graffiti Brush


Trying some new experiments building photo mosaic effects using a graffiti movie brush in the Studio Artist 4 paint synthesizer. I'm using a cellular regionize path start generator for this particular example. Image processing brush load is being used to colorize the individual movie frames as they are being applied to the canvas.

Truchet Coloring Experiment


Trying out some new approaches to coloring truchet patterns via MSG processors in Studio Artist 4.

Dancing Surfboard


Not really, but it kind of reminded me of that a little. A bias of living in Hawaii i guess. Generated via directed evolution of MSG processors while testing the new Frame feature.

MSG Vector Effects 2


Another example of playing around with some new MSG vector effects that try to emulate some Japanese abstract modern art styles that utilize simple vector shapes and repetition. This kind of thing would be great for fabric or packaging design, and indeed some of the original imagery i was using as an inspiration for this work was used that way commercially.
