Most paint action sequences (PASeq) are composed of multiple action steps that work together to build a final finished effect. When initially building a PASeq, the ability to watch each individual action step update in real time as it plays back is useful feedback. But if you are using the PASeq to process live video…
This post will discuss how to re-use a PASeq like this, since it can easily be re-edited to reference a different movie brush file and associated auto-selection tiling size for the new movie brush you want to work with. We’ll also use a Vectorizer Outline Technique preset to overlay some additional facial features (as seen…
In yesterday’s post we discussed how to build a simulation of pouring paint, based on hand editing an older Wacom pen tilt sensitive air brush preset. In that post, we mentioned that you could do additional hand editing in the paint synthesizer to build various kinds of wet paint effects to add additional complexity into…
Someone recently asked me for some advice on programming the paint synthesizer to emulate paint pouring out of a hose, where the user could control the direction of the flow. And i’m assuming there’s some form of gravitational force associated with the paint movement as well. We’ll take a look at one approach to doing…
We’ve previously discussed how to program the paint synthesizer to generate grid tiling paint presets, and how to hand paint 50% size reduced grid tiling movie brush presets to hand paint additional detail in a photo mosaic that properly nests the tiled sub blocks. But sometimes you might not want to put in all that…
