Compeller Brush test run 2

 

You can also use the new compeller brush load functionality to do style modulation if you want to.

SideChain FSA Gradient Fixed

 

Finally fixed various issues associated with the SideChain modulatable FSA Gradient.  There was an issue with threading mucking up some internal variables in it (spot noise).  And the modulation was not hooked up. Now it is working like it should be working, and it multi-threads based on your CPU cores.

Style modulating the FSA Gradient in SideChain.

Simple SideChain movie processing test with the fixed FSA Gradient.

Energy Based Model

 

One can think about formulating image synthesis within the context of Yann LeCun's Energy Based Models, which is a world view he uses to provide a unified conceptual framework for how different deep learning systems work.  You can build the algorithms directly inside of Studio Artist using the existing feature set.  Early days, but fascinating none the less.

displacement Infusion

 

Adding new features like style modulation to the old standby Displacement IpOp in Studio Artist pre_V6.

styleMod

 

I am again fascinated by how effective style modulation can be in serious old school IpOp effects (line screening in this example).  And of course once you embed them in the Vectorizer they are now vector effects that can be re-rendered to any desired output resolution.

beef it Up

 

Beefing up the line screen IpOp effects in Studio Artist pre_V6.  New coloring options as well as mixing in style transfer modulation features.

Same style modulated line screen effect (identical parameters) with 2 different style images processing the same source image.

Non style modulated line screen effect (same screening parameters as the 2 style modulated images above).

resynthesis Upsize

 

Experimenting with the resynthesis algorithm for upsizing of the generated style transfer effect.

Above is 1280 pixel, below is 2X 2560 pixel. I tried a 5K as well, so you can keep going and you keep generating detail at the higher resolution as you upsize.  Needs some additional tweaking to balance out the detail vs lower level structure as you move up in size, but QED for the basic idea that you can just use visual attribute modulation to do style transfer effects.

reSynthesis

 

Trying some multi-octave experiments.

Working some style modulation into the resynthesis algorithm.

Multi-octave style modulation resynthesis algorithm experiment.

Adding some style color modulation as well.

The only thing different from the previous one above is that i changed the loaded style image.
