Evolving and Editing MSG Presets

Directed evolution is a powerful technique that can be used to create an infinite variety of new abstract procedural art images or image and video processing effects. The Evolution Editor palette shown above is where you can perform directed evolution of MSG presets. Each of the 16 small images in the Evolution Editor is a…

Coloring MSG Attractors

The example above shows the output of a MSG preset that consists of 3 different MSG chaotic attractor processors composited together into a single colorized image. This post will discuss different coloring strategies you can use to build colorized MSG chaotic attractor presets. 

Truchet Based Extreme Abstraction

Today’s post will rework the truchet patterning idea discussed in yesterday’s post. We’ll use MSG processors that generate color patterning based off of color palette streams, as opposed to generating a grayscale patterning grid that is then colorized. The truchet patterns are still being modulated by a source image, but since the global colors in…

Simple MSG Based Vector Shapes

The images above are some simple examples of abstract vector shapes that can be generated by MSG processor that overlays colored shapes based on a user definable color palette. We’ll take a look at this simple MSG processor and how to use it in this post.
