DualMode Paint presets built with a Warp DualOp can easily be interactively adjusted while they are auto-painting by moving the mouse in the main canvas. It’s also possible to build interactive DualMode Paint presets that use a MSG DualOp with a little bit of additional programming work. This post will discuss what you need to…
Today’s post shows off a spatially modulated nonlinear filtering effect I created by starting with the MSG preset we generated in yesterday’s post, and then working with Swap mutation in the Evolution Editor. This preset is built in a very similar way to yesterday’s organic kaleidoscopic effect, and will hopefully make you a little more…
Organic patterns in nature are oftentimes balance symmetry making an symmetry breaking. The interaction of the 2 opposing symmetry making and breaking forces give organic patterns a visual complexity missing in artificial images that have pure mathematical symmetry. There are a number of different MSG processors that use internal modulation to make and break geometric…
Simulating a Video Feedback effect. The post called Simulating Video Feedback described how to build a simple paint action sequence that incorporated an Image Compressor ip op effect and a MSG rotation and scaling effect to simulate analog video feedback. This post take a second look at that post, and shows how to build…
The image above is a frame capture from a MSG based procedural animation. A single MSG preset was run in loop action mode to generate the animation output. I opened a movie stream before starting the loop action run of the MSG preset, so each cycle of the loop action processing was output as a…
