Paper and Canvas Simulation 2

Another example of a canvas texture simulation generated by using the new high level paint synthesizer macro edit commands in Studio Artist 4. Macro edits are cool because you don't need to get under the hood of the paint synthesizer to dramatically change the way a paint preset works. Obviously there are limits to single button editing like this 'add canvas texture' macro edit command, but it's a great way to quickly perform paint edits that you can later fine tune with the more detailed paint synthesizer editing controls if you wish. And of course if you don't want to get under the hood it does give you a lot of power to customize.

Paper and Canvas Simulation

Every few months someone seems to bring up a desire to simulate painting on a textured canvas or paper in Studio Artist. Of course there's a lot of different ways to do it, but sometimes it can be tricky to edit any arbitrary paint synthesizer preset to incorporate paper texturing without getting under the hood of the paint synthesizer. So i've recently been adding some new macro edit commands that let you perform high level edits on any paint synthesizer preset to add paper or canvas texturing.

Lunch at Nikos 2

Another temporal scan track panorama of the boat harbor taken outside of Nikos on Oahu. This started with a video pan that was then processed in Studio Artist 4 to get a static image.

Lunch at Nikos

Lunch at Nikos down by Honolulu harbor after our adventures in Wahiawa. The best and cheapest fish lunch you can find on Oahu, they're right next to the fish auction pier. Plus you can eat outside with a view of all the boats. Some of the coolest places on Oahu are actually pretty gnarly and industrial, as opposed to the typical postcard tourist destinations.

This started with a video pan taken from our table by the dock, that was then processed with the Studio Artist 4 temporal scan tracker into a static panorama image. That was then processed with the vectorizer to get the final image.

Adventures In Wahiawa 4

More processed video footage taken from our quest to find a cargo container filled with poison gas in Wahiawa. This started with a video sequence taken out the window of the moving car as we passed a series of ramshackle pawn shops and liquor stores that was then processed with the Studio Artist 4 temporal scan tracker to build a compressed panorama view of moving down the storefronts.

Adventures In Wahiawa 3

Our search for a cargo container filled with poison gas in Wahiawa continues. This whole series is from source video taken out the window of the moving car as we cruised Wahiawa looking for aloha exterminators.

Vector Scribbler 3

More experiments with vector output from the Studio Artist 4 paint synthesizer. The nice thing about vector paint abstraction is that you can scale the resulting output to your hearts content.
