Hard Hats Required

I was doing some Studio Artist testing and this popped out. The random placement of the eye sub image was perfect, thank you paint synthesizer.

Protection Dogs2

More images from the protection dogs series. These all start by vectorizing an image and then using that as the source for a graffiti photo mosaic created using the Studio Artist paint synthesizer drawing with a movie brush.

Protection Dogs

These are some experiments where i start by vectorizing an image, and then use that transformed image as the source for a graffiti photo mosaic. The graffiti mosaic is created using the Studio Artist paint synthesizer and a graffiti movie brush.

Turkey Head

Thought i'd paint a turkey since it's thanksgiving. We're headed out for Emu cooked turkey later today. Which basically means it was wrapped in aluminum foil and tossed in an underground fire pit overnight to cook.

I was kind of amused when i noticed what image comes up first if you do a google image search on turkey head.

House of Ink

More from the windward side tour. I was going for a soft colored chalk drawing style rendition for this video panorama. This was all done using Ip Ops in Studio Artist.

All Roads Lead to Oneawa

This being a small island, it seems like all roads do indeed lead to Oneawa, home of the world famous Steak Rave. Generated from Flip video taken while driving, converted into a static panorama via the Studio Artist temporal scan tracker, with some vectorizer tossed in.

Yamashiros

Back to the windward side island tour, which would not be complete without a stop at Yamashiros. Generated from a Flip video pan converted into a static panorama using the Studio Artist temporal scan tracker. Added some vectorizer in a second layer.

More MSG Experiments

These kind of remind me of colored tin foil or metal paintings. They were created via directed evolution of MSG presets in Studio Artist 4.

New MSG Experiments

These were generated via directed evolution of MSG presets in Studio Artist 4.

Gallery Show Tests

These two images randomly popped out while doing some testing of the new Studio Artist 4 Gallery Show features. Some of the gallery show techniques let you randomly mutate the presets used in the show which was the case for these 2 images.

Lord of the Finance

Photo Mosaic created using a graffiti movie brush in the paint synthesizer, followed by some interactive warp operations.

Bluxom Series3

Some symmetry variations created using the Bluxom graffiti photo mosaic technique i've been discussing for the last few posts.

Bluxom Series2

More images from my new photo mosaic experiments. These were all created using the Studio Artist paint synthesizer with a graffiti movie brush. The bottom one was created from a live video shot off of an internal iSight camera.

Bluxom Series1

I've been exploring new ways to work with photo mosaic style imagery in Studio Artist. This series was generated with graffiti databases where the graffiti images are randomly chosen and then colorized to match the sub area they are positioned in. The vectorizer outline technique is used to insert a stylized source outline into the image. I really like the look of these, the stylized vectorizer output almost appears to be part of the graffiti itself. Very different feel than a conventional photo mosiac image.

Tacolicous

Yes the tacolicous truck is 'da bomb'. I'm debating whether to try it since it's right next to the curry truck that put me down for a week with food poisoning. Subsection of a scan tracker video panorama. The shot below was taken walking around the side of the truck.

Pacific Sun

This was taken in Honolulu harbor near the fish market. It started with a Flip video pan that was then converted into a static panorama image with the Studio Artist temporal scan tracker.

Boat Scan

I've been moving back to working with a complete frame slit scan recently after avoiding it for a long period of time. This started with Flip video taken out the side window of the car while driving next to the water near Honolulu chinatown.

Interior View

This is a shot of the interior of 'Ship to Hawaii' from a single Flip video frame. It doesn't really do justice to the large assortment of crazy stuff hanging on the walls. I used the smart contrast ip op in Studio Artist followed by the flat region colorize ip op to generate the processing effect.

Industrial View

This was taken in front of 'Ship to Hawaii'. The usual Flip video pan followed by the Studio Artist temporal scan tracker to convert it into a static panorama.

Fatty's

More international marketplace imagery. This started with a 180 degree Flip video pan. Converted into a static panorama via the Studio Artist temporal scan tracker.

Steak Rave or Steak Plate

Our westside journey continues. The market is the home of the fabulous Steak Rave, whihc really has to be seen to be believed. So this being a very small town, someone decides to open a Steak Plate joint right next store. Which will probably cause them both to go out of business. Image is the usual video sequence taken out the car window processed with the Studio Artist temporal scan tracker into a static panorama image.

Home of the Malassada

Continuing our west side journey. No stop in K Town is complete without a visit to Agnes Portuguese Bake Shop. Now with high speed internet access, ha,ha. The usual video sequence processed with the Studio Artist temporal scan tracker into a static panorama image.

K Town Driveby

Continuing the movement down the windward coast. This was taken with a Flip video camera out the side window while driving, then converted into a panorama via the Studio Artist temporal scan tracker. There's some vectorizer output mixed into a second layer.

W-Town Drive By 2

Another temporal panorama generated from a Flip video sequence taken while driving through Waimanalo. The panorama was then processed with the vectorizer in a second layer.

W-Town Drive By

This was generated from a Flip video sequence taken out the window while driving. The panorama was created using the Studio Artist temporal scan tracker. I then processed that with the Block Abstraction ip op in a second layer.

Waikiki Street View 2

Another 360 degree Flip video pan processed into a static panorama image via the Studio Artist temporal scan tracker. This was taken at the end of the Waikiki strip at the start of Kapiolani Park.

360 Waikiki Street View

This was created with a 360 degree Flip video pan taken while walking through Waikiki that was then turned into a static panorama image using the Studio Artist temporal scan tracker.

Waikiki Street View

Panorama created using the Studio Artist temporal scan tracker to process a 180 degree Flip video pan taken while walking through Waikiki. There's a very subtle amount of vectorizer processing added to this in a second layer.

International Marketplace Walkthrough 2

More processed video footage from inside the chaos of the International Marketplace in Waikiki. Experience it before it is gone forever. The video panorama was generated using the Studio Artist temporal scan tracker.

International Marketplace Walkthrough

This was generated from a video sequence taken while walking though the International Market Place in Waikiki. Probably my favorite place in Waikiki. Unfortunately not long for this world since they will soon tear it down to build more Gucci stores.

Waikiki Beach2

Another Waikiki Beach video pan converted into a static panorama image via the Studio Artist temporal scan tracker. That panorama image was then used as the source image to generate a photo mosaic via the paint synthesizer. A Waikiki movie brush was used to generate the photo mosaic. You need to zoom in to really see all the detail in these mosaic images.
