Dual Mean Split

 

Flat Region Canvas as Regions vs Flat Region Canvas as Region DM for path start regionization in the paint synthesizer.  Using a 7 color luminance mapped gradient mapping to build the flat colored region.

It seems like a lot of the Dual Mean (DM) path start generator options don't do the Min Region Size check for the second pass, so i'll look into that.
 

I used a Transition Context virtual sub nest size of 1 for the above so i could automatically generate embedded bezier paths for the painting at each frame. I deleted most of them except for a few specific keyframes on the timeline and then sorted the bezier paths by luminance above and renormalized with recycle and then distance sorted below.
