Vector Bristles

More experiments with the new vector paint features.

TSP Grid

Testing out the 1C Abstract6 MSG processor, which includes a traveling salesman problem solver for mapping a contiguous minimum distance path through a set of algorithmically generated points derived from a source image.

Evolution

Working in the evolution editor playing around with some of the new MSG power user features.

Randomized Shape Fills

Trying out some new vectorizer features.

Cool Vector Paint

Generated using a PASeq that only uses vector paint effects. Cool because that means it's resolution independent. The original version of this vector paint preset came from a random mutation gallery show run (saved history sequence).

Gallery Show Grab 4

Another randomized vector paint preset image grabbed during some gallery show testing

Sailing Ship

More tests of mutated vector paint presets using Studio Artist's Gallery Show features. Everything in this painting was generated using vector painting. So it's a ll resolution independent.

Gallery Show Grab 3

Testing out some new vector paint mutation options in gallery show.

Vectorizer Randomization

Trying out some of the new control panel randomization features in the Studio Artist Editor window.

Gallery Show Grab 2

Another gallery show canvas grab while running some test of new vector paint features.

Gallery Show Grab

Trying out a new gallery show option in Studio Artist.

Color Quad Block 3

More experiments with the new color quad block MSG processors. I seem to always get the best results when using the tiling processors if i fix the repeat ratios for the different overlays.

Color Quad Block 2

Testing the new color quad block MSG processors and associated automatic random configuration commands. Note the cast shadow effects that are an integrated part of the associated MSG processors.

Flower

Working with some of the new power user MSG features. There are new MSG configuration options that automatically generate random vector MSG presets.

Color Quad Block

Added some new color Quad Block pattern generator processors to MSG.

Solar Flare

Doing a lot of MSG testing recently. Grabbed this during a test run in the evolution editor.

MSG Power User

Experimenting with some new layout configurations for working with the Evolution Editor and the MSG Advanced Editor in Studio Artist. This one fills the entire 27 inch iMac display. You can save it in one of the workspace memories, and then switch in and out of it while working.

Silly

Adding some new MSG Configuration help commands that generate random MSG presets that do vector drawing and this popped up during testing them.

Procedural Splatter

Raised and lighted splatter brush generated from procedural brush type in the paint synthesizer.

Abstract Painting

Doing some testing in the paint synthesizer.

e | e

Testing some new paint synthesizer features.

SVG ReRender 2

More experiments working with a low res draw canvas to build up a vector painting, that is then output as a SVG vector file and then re-imported back into Studio Artist at a much higher resolution for final output.

SVG Rerender

One thing that's really cool about Studio Artist, is that you can use vector paint presets to work in a low resolution canvas, but with the ultimate goal of generating a very large raster image for printing.  Working in the low-res canvas allows for working very quickly.

You record everything you are doing in a Paint Action Sequence. Then you run the Action : Generate SVG : with Paint Action Sequence menu command to generate a SVG vector file from your recorded PASeq. You can then re-render the SVG vector file to a raster resolution of your choosing for printing.

More Vector Paint

More experiments with some of the new vector paint features.

Waldo

More experiments with some of the underused Color Simplify ip op features.

New Sketch Mass Efx

Trying out some new features in the Sketch Mass ip op, that lead to very different effects than the normal black and white pen sketch kind of look.

The Smoker

Trying out some new spatially modulated warp ideas.

Streamers

More vector paint experiments.

The Agony of

Working away with some of the new vector paint features in vectorizer-driven path start regionization.

Lipstick

Using the vectorizer to drive path start regionization in the paint synthesizer. Also trying out some new vector paint effects as well.

Drowning

Experiment using Block Abstraction to modulation some interactive warp effects.

Pirate Bay

This is using the vectorizer to drive path start regionization in the paint synthesizer.

Supreme Beings

Trying out some new vector paint features in the paint synthesizer. This was all generated from a single paint preset that uses path start regionization.

Lou

More experiments with some new vector paint features.

Cool Vector Paint

Vector paint is starting to get pretty interesting in Studio Artist 5.
