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…
There was some recent discussion on the Studio Artist User Forum suggesting adding gradient lighting effects to the Vectorizer in the future. I had suggested one approach to doing something like this today would be to use a MSG Gradient Lighting effect to post process Vectorizer output. I whipped this effect together quickly to…
This post continues the recent series focused on using temporal generators to build self-animating MSG presets. Today’s post will focus on different coloring strategies for building abstract color imagery.
