Different Texture Synthesis Approaches in Painting

 

Scribble Paint Animation

 

More adventures with the Init QuickEdit. Scaled the brush size down to 1 pixel, added some path angle procedural modulation to give it some scribble, used Smart Blur and some Gradient Lighting to shine it up, added some Threshold IpOp Min composited to add a little bit of structure.

So i have my 'lay down stuff' component, and i have my 'dispersion' component. Very simple.

To mix things up i used the new SideChain IpOp effect to generate a modified sub-octave motion mask, flipped it, and then used it to mask some wet drop paint in the non-moving background i made by taking one of Craig's factory presets and doing a quick edit.

Lorenze Attractor Paint Animation Test

 

Rendered this out as a test of a PASeq i received from a beta tester. It uses a MSG preset that generates a Lorenz chaotic attractor that is then used in the paint synthesizer via MSG path start scan (and a paint to last start point via spline path shape) to control where painting occurs.  It's embedded in a DualPaint action step in a PASeq that uses a warp as the dual op.

Reaction - Diffusion : The Battle for Dominance

 

Interesting idea for a transition effect. The fine tuning is very sensitive to small parameter perturbations.

Adventures in Reaction-Diffusion Land

 

Working with dynamic recursive dissipative processes to build up reaction-diffusion texturing in animation renders.

Texture Synthesizer in Studio Artist V5.5 used to build structured turbulence rendering.

Bezier Facial Feature Detection Tracking Test 1

 

Using the Path : Generate paths : from Src Facial Features menu command to auto-generate a single bezier path based off of the facial features of the source movie. Used Mondo Simplify IpOp with 50% Mix for the backing.

So i'm auto-masking the Mondo Simplify IpOp in this second one.

I added a second Mondo Simplify IpOp action step at the beginning of the PASeq to process the previous output frame to smooth out the trail buildup over time.
