The following image is a combination of a vectorizer abstraction preset with an added smart blur effects masked so that it only blurs at the edges of the image. This can be used as a technique to focus the viewer’s attention on the center of the image, and also to create a sense of…
The following image is the end frame of a simple paint animation that paints in 2 bezier paths that spell out ‘Happy Holidays’ over a specific number of frames. Someone recently asked me how to build this kind of animation effect, so I quickly threw this simple example together, which we will explore in…

The following image is a still frame from a bezier path tween animation. A series of bezier path edge sketches were keyframed to build a morphing animation that transforms through a sequence of different still images of faces. The still image sketch output shown above was generated between 2 keyframes, so it’s a sketch…
Yesterday’s post described an approach that can be used to build stylized blocky abstraction effects. Today’s post will continue an exploration of this kind of effect, but the technique we will use is somewhat different. How the blocks and source features embedded in them are generated is different than yesterday’s post. The colorization of…
