Ribs Today

This place in Haiku morphs between a taco stand and a ribs place at various times of the week. I'm using the new vectorizer gradient fill option in studio artist 4.03.

The Sheriff

The 'sheriff' is on patrol, making sure the perimeter is secure. The processing is from the Studio Artist vectorizer.

LiveExtend DualMode Paint Animation

You can use the live extend path shape option with time particles to build live extend paint strokes over time in an animation. I build this kind of paint preset, and then used it in a dualmode paint preset along with some interactive warping modulated by the source image. I used a source movie of a dancer so that the source image was always varying from frame to frame. The image above is a single frame from the generative animation.

DualMode Paint Texturing

Texture pattern generated by running a dualmode paint preset that is using vector paint strokes and a MSG geometric warp to build symmetry.

DualMode Paint Movie Brush Textured Paint Style

I started this particular series of paintings by running a dualmode paint preset into an open movie stream to build a movie brush. The individual frames in the movie brush are all abstract paintings with vector paint strokes and built-in symmetry patterning. I then loaded that movie brush as a movie background texture and used region fill as brush pen mode to auto paint in the canvas. I then used the vectorizer outline technique to add a little feature outlining to finish off the effect.

Video Feedback Simulation

I was playing around with recursively processing the Studio Artist canvas with a PASeq running in loop action to simulate video feedback. In the analog world you would do this by pointing a live video camera at a monitor displaying the live video camera output. In software you can simulate the feedback process by setting up recursive processing that keeps processing the canvas over and over again. This particular image started with a woman's face, but after cycling for long enough you start getting an ever evolving series of bizarre black and white textural patterning effects. Watching this animate is fascinating.
