Each Studio Artist layer has an associated bezier path frame. The bezier path frame is a buffer for bezier vector paths. Studio Artist has a unique internal graphics model for paint strokes that paints raster paint over vector paths. The nice thing about vector paths is that they are resolution independent and in the case…
There are a wide variety of different tools available in Studio Artist for converting raster images into bezier path renditions of the image. These include techniques to generate bezier path edge sketches (like above), as well as bezier mass sketches based on cross-hatching, and complete cartoon-style vector renditions of color imagery. This tip will provide…
Studio Artist has 5 different Bezier Path Memories. Four of them are global memories and one is internal to the paint synthesizer. The bezier path memories can be used to record, store, and playback sets of bezier paths. You can use the path memories as working storage when editing a bezier sketch or animation. You…
This tip will discuss how to create a morph animation from a series of still images. Older versions of Studio Artist used the old Timeline Animation op mode functionality to generate morphs. Morphs are now created single Morph Context in a Paint Action Sequence. How to generate a morph To start off, open the Paint…
This tip discusses how to automate the generation of encapsulated bezier paint animation. This is done by constructing a PASeq that generates the desired bezier paths. This PASeq is then automatically run multiple times for a series of recored source context keyframes to generate a bezier context. The bezier context is then automatically converted into…
