Big City

Trying to build something like an interactive slitscan squeegee brush. Using brush load functionality with Bus1 source from another layer. Also using an alternate tracking option in Paint Source Offset. So the brush is built from scanning in layer 2, coloring comes from the source, and it is drawing into layer1.

San Francisco

Running some experiments with generating slit scan effects from a static single image. The trick is to turn the image into a movie. So i used keyframed warps to do that. I then loaded the warp movie, and then ran temporal slit scan effects on it.

3 Roads to Travel

Decisions, decisions. Gallery show is making them. Via adaptive source masking and self-mutating MSG presets.

Peer Inside

Working on a new multi-resolution lighting gradient effect. Great way to do in one processing step what took an entire PASeq before, so it's actually pretty useful. Also has built in noise reduction (along with some other new tweaks), which opens up a whole new world for gradient lighting effects.

Smear BlockHead Afternoon

Working on cleaning up a ton of things since 4:30 am today. Organizing a new preset collection, i stumbled upon some different kinds of smear presets. Smear Block is a particular brush load algorithm option with a very distinctive look to it. It looks like i feel this afternoon.

Of course once you stumble upon a new set of presets you keep experimenting with tweaking new things out of it.

Like this new dual paint combination preset made of vector paint with additional built in raster water wash. Hence it's dual vector-raster nature.

Looking Inward

Playing around with mutating MSG presets in gallery show.

Cool Cat

This gallery show stream output image i selected from a recent nightly gallery show run was automatically generated from a randomized folder of jazz poster imagery. Using additional mutating adaptive source masking. Now let's all visualize San Francisco's Fillmore district together.
