Procedural Painting

Trying some experiments recently with procedural painting. So you program the Studio Artist paint synthesizer to build a procedural generative pattern that gets painted in. So it's painting in algorithmic shapes as opposed to a representational source image.

Procedural Styles

Another MSG procedural art image generated in Studio Artist 4. This one has a more simplistic feel than the last few. A lot of it is based on MSG processors that generate vector drawing.

MSG Mountains 2

Another procedural art experiment in Studio Artist 4 using the MSG Evolution Editor. This one has some space filling curve stuff going on inside of it. The cool thing about working with directed evolution is that building an effect like this from scratch manually would be extremely tedious or more likely impossible.

MSG Mountains

Procedural image generated by directed evolution of MSG presets in the Studio Artist 4 Evolution Editor. Thought i would get back to playing around with MSG abstraction.

StackFilter Painting

Painting generated by processing an entire source movie of different face images with a PASeq. I used 3 passes with progressively smaller brush size to build up the final image.

The face images were first spatially normalized using the Studio Artist inverse warp features. The spatial normalization is what gives the feature coherence in the final painting, which is a painting of the entire face image set as opposed to a specific facial image.

Time Passing

Some source video footage taken out of the side of a moving car processed by the Studio Artist scan tracker. I setup the scan direction and frame indexing to track a person's movement in the source video.

The Joker

More stack filtering experiments in the spirit of Halloween just passing by.
