This post continues the discussion over the last 2 days, looking at different ways to build MSG presets that build complex overlaid truchet tiling patternings that are adaptively modulated with a source image. As with yesterday’s post, we’ll be focused more on creating an interesting abstract image with internal variability as opposed to building a…
Today’s post will look at a Truchet patterning based abstraction. Sebastian Truchet first looked at tiling patterns (called Truchet patterning) in 1704. MSG offers several different processors that let you generate a wide variety of different Truchet like tiling patterning effects. Some of these processors also allow for adaptive modulation of the patterning based on…
Yesterday we talked about how to configure Studio Artist to work with live video processing. Today we’ll discuss another kind of live video performance feature, but one oriented at synthesizing abstract visual imagery via recursive feedback processing in real time. The image above is a frame capture of a dynamic textural image generated in real…
The frame capture above was taken from a movie stream generated by using a MSG preset to process live video in Studio Artist. While we often focus on static image or movie processing visual effects that are generated out of real time, there are many interesting live visual performance features available in Studio Artist. Including…
This post will continue yesterday’s MSG effect post by detailing how I started with yesterday’s MSG preset and then worked with directed evolution in the Evolution Editor to build a new MSG abstraction effect. Part of working with directed evolution involves what I call hand cleanup, checking the IO connections and doing minor hand…
