Injection Modulation Dissipation Test

 

Running some injection modulation tests in the Studio Artist V5.5.4 paint synthesizer.

Tweaked above a little bit to turn it into this.  My initial attempt had too much gradient lighting (6% mix rather than 3% mix), which will totally burn it out when you build it into recursive processing. I have a low mix Mondo Simplify added to pull the backing in a little bit.  Small tweaks can help control the 'battle for dominance' that is going on when you do recursive processing.

WaterColor Paint Animation Experiment

 

It's really an experiment testing Flow based modulation of the Threshold IpOp effect ib nStudio Artist V5.5.  But i got a little bit carried away with it.

Build Visualizations for your Algorithm

 

I've been beating my head against a conceptual wall trying to figure out some behavior associated with a certain Studio Artist internal algorithm. Then i used Studio Artist to configure a very simple visualization of what was going on. Voila. 

Same PASeq used for a different source movie with different visual characteristics below. Again, everything makes total sense now. 

 The cool thing about the Studio Artist V5.5 environment is that it is so incredibly flexible that i could just very quickly build these visualizations using existing components of the program. As opposed to having to write custom code and then kludge it in somehow to run the tests.
