Gallery Show Vectorizer Mutation


I grabbed this image while running a Studio Artist 4 vectorizer mutation gallery show. The source image is a shot from the olympics. Gallery Show continues to amaze me, so much potential and un-explored territory lurking in there.

More ideas for expanding the range of effects that can be generated by the Studio Artist 4 vectorizer's shape technique.

Lissajous Screening


Someone asked me about generating Guilloche patterns in Studio Artist. After thinking about it a little bit i realized you can use a MSG processor as the pattern generator, and then have that drive the paint synthesizer to draw in the patterning. You can also modify the paint synthesizer settings to build screening algorithms based on the patterning. I'm using a lissajous generator for this particular example.

Simple New Vectorizer Ideas


I've been playing around with adding some new vectorizer features in Studio Artist 4. This is a new simple option in the Shape technqiue that can be quite effective in some situations.

PASeq Mutation 3


Another example of an effect created by mutating an existing PASeq. The original effect is very different, so PASeq mutation really opens up a whole new world of automatic effect generation.
