Auto-Rotoscoping – Making Animated Videos with Paint Action Sequences (PASeq)
Making Movies – Paint Action Sequence Basic Editing 1 This video explains how a Paint Action Sequence (PASeq) works in Studio Artist for making movies. You can also use any PASeq to make still images as well. This video will show you how to edit a Factory PASeq Preset. You will learn how to delete and add action steps, turn action steps on and off, mute and unmute steps plus create and record your own steps. You will also learn some basic editing of PASeq steps as well as the advanced trick of creating a ghost effect which helps with smoothing flicker.
Triangular Block Regionize Effect
Today’s post shows how to spice up the Block Abstraction image operation effect by re-colorizing the blocks in a way that also splits them up into triangles.
Colorized Mass Abstractor Effect
The Mass Abstractor is a Studio Artist image operation effect. It can process a source image into a variety of different black and white effect styles. What about generating color output from the Mass Abstractor? Today’s post shows one way to do that, using the Colorize image operation effect.
Convex Hull Border Treatment Effect
See the full gallery on Posterous Border effects can be a very effective finishing treatment for a painting or other artistic visual effect. You can configure the paint synthesizer to create a wide variety of different border effects (check out the Borders category for some examples). But you can also use different image processing effects to provide different aesthetic treatments to the borders of painted canvases.
Vector Color Line Screen Effect
Today’s post will show off how to combine the Line Screen Regionize image operation with the Vectorizer to create a vector color line screen effect.
Using Gallery Show to Automatically Generate New Preset Effects
See the full gallery on Posterous Yesterday we showed one approach to automatically generating new image processing effects using active link commands in the integrated Help Browser that mutate new image operation effects at the touch of a button. Today we’ll show an alternative approach using Gallery Show features to do the same kind of thing.
Exploring the Rank MultiScale Filter via Mutating Presets
See the full gallery on Posterous Yesterday we showed off how to configure the Rank MultiScale Filter image operation effect to build an intelligent smoothing filter that smooths an image while retaining sharp edges. We mentioned in yesterday’s post that like all Studio Artist image operation effects, by adjusting their editable parameters you can dramatically change the type of visual effect processing they generate. Today we’ll show a useful technique you can use to automatically generate mutated variations of any image operation effect.
Intelligent Smoothing using the Rank MultiScale Filter
Intelligent smoothing effects that blur or blend smooth gradient sections of an image while at the same time preserving sharp edges can be very useful. They can be used to create cartoon stylings, or to remove noise artifacts, or to clean up an image prior to subsequent processing. Today’s post will show off a new way to build this kind of effect using the Rank MultiScale Filter ip op.
Watershed Regionize Cartoon Look
Today we’ll take a quick look at the Watershed Regionzie image operation effect. It’s useful for generating a wide variety of flat color cartoon styling effects.
Stylized Vector Edge Effect
Today’s post shows how to combine together an image operation effect and the Vectorizer to create a stylized black and white edge effect. We’ll be using the Vectorizer’s Flat Input Technique, which allows you to take a flat color image generated by a raster image processing effect and convert it into a vector representation.
