Today’s post will continue the topic we started yesterday, looking at different approaches to colorizing MSG procedural imagery. Today we’ll look at using the ForceColorMap processor to colorize a 3 channel MSG procedural preset.
Many MSG presets that generate 1 channel procedural textures use the 1to3GradMap processor to index map the black and white texture image through a color gradient to generate full color output. However, you can also work with 2 different color gradients to colorize procedural imagery. This post will show off how to do this using…
The image above is a frame capture from an abstract procedural animation generated by a MSG preset. The movement in the animation is built from a combination of attaching temporal generators to some MSG editable parameters along with the use of keyframe animation to interpolate between 2 different color palettes over the course of the…
The following images shows off a few MSG source processing effects generated from scratch, using nothing more than a press of the Inspire command button in the Evolution Editor. Inspire evolution works off of the set of factory MSG presets, using them as a basis for building new mutated effect variations. Inspire evolution is a…
Yesterday we showed how to use the 3C Abstract12 CP MSG processor to build pseudo plant-like abstract procedural imagery. Today we will show how to use MSG Meta-Edit help commands and directed evolution to take yesterday’s simple effect and build something more visually complex.
