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…
Today’s post will discuss how to work with creating photo mosaic effects based on movie brushes that contain a series of non-rectangular shapes or objects on flat colored backgrounds. The images above show how I created a movie brush effect using the actual shapes of the objects for the individual brush nibs, as opposed to…
Today’s post continues where we left off with yesterday’s post. We show how to use the Vectorizer to overlay some black source feature outlining on top of a very abstract irregular photo mosaic effect we constructed in yesterday’s post. The source feature outline overlay can help anchor the abstract photo mosaic image, making it more…
The last 2 day’s posts have covered working with photo mosaic effects that tile in a regular grid pattern and allow for addition of non-overlapping sub blocks within the tiling mosaic to add additional detail. At the end of yesterday’s post we briefly mentioned that you could use the Vectorizer to define the region structure…
Hand Painting Nested Sub-Blocks to Build Detail in a Regular Grid Photo Mosaic. This post continues our discussion started yesterday about a particular paint synthesizer approach to generating a traditional photo mosaic rectangular grid. Yesterday we discussed how to modify Path Application control panel settings to setup a regular grid tiling that sub nests with…
