Paint Mutation Grind Fest

Searching for that elusive remaining issue in the generative ai paint preset mutation engine.

Recombination Engine

 

Grab from a gallery show run that uses a single PASeq preset to build an infinite variety of different vector face images using a few image folder brushes for the different facial parts.  Put this simple preset together as an example for the folks interested in making NFTs in Studio Artist.

Traveling Salesman Sketch Animation Experiment

 

Studio Artist V5.5 has a lot of different features one can use to build TSP (Traveling Salesman Problem) sketch effects. I setup a Paint Action Sequence (PASeq) to automatically build a single bezier path TSP Sketch of a series of key-framed movies in a Transition Context. I then used another Studio Artist feature to automatically derive colored regions (the Flat Color Regionize IpOp effects) while keyframe interpolating the single bezier curve sketch effects over time. And this is what i got. Super easy to try experiments like this in Studio Artist.

The Chain of Life

 

Grabbed this last night as it flashed by during gallery show automated testing of Studio Artist V5.5.5.

Escape from the Past

 

Turning the worlds most boring stock photo into something way more interesting in Studio Artist V5.5.5 using a totally automatic generative ai paint process in gallery show.

Behold the Light

 

I'm using a folder of 6 custom MSG presets that use 2 color palettes and a threshold modulator to dual colorize the input to the presets.  I setup gallery show to use this folder for the MSG asset location.  I then setup the paint generative preferences in gallery show to generative build a MSG Brush Load paint effect, one that uses bezier paths for painting derived off of a generative vectorizer effect.  

The style transfer is coming from gallery show auto-generating color palettes and also visual attribute modulating the generative vectorizer effects that generate the paint paths.

The source for this is also the worlds most boring stock photo.

Focus in

 

Running automated stress testing of Studio Artist V5.5.5 generative paint features, trying to dial in that final build while twisting the brain to try out new combinations from the billions of generative paint preference permutations.

Gallery Show Dream Sequence

 

Shows off a Studio Artist V5.5.5 gallery show run in all of its gory detail, captured into an open image stream using the Write on Op End write flag.  The paint is generative MSG derived, the source is generative data augmented.  I just let it run and recorded the results into the image stream folder as frame images, then used a Transition Context to load them all in and animate output to a movie file.

The audio backing is the last track (Scat) off of the Xenon Light Annihilation cd.

The Aftermath

 


Forbidden Rendezvous

 

Hunting the elusive style background texture generative paint preference crash issue i discovered last night testing what i thought was the final Studio Artist V5.5.5 build. So back to the debug grind mill again this morning for another slog day of code grinding and stack crawling (oh joy).  That generative paint preference auto-configures the paint synthesizer background texture to use an image grabbed from the current loaded style (including the data augmentations you have selected).  Of course the power went out for hours here last night right after i discovered this issue, shutting down all of the code debug machines.
