Today’s post continues our exploration of the Movie Pixel Index Background Texture feature in Studio Artist. So we’re working with movie brush files, but using them to build a dynamic background texture as opposed to a movie source brush. The 2 following images were created by a simple modification of the factory preset Default :…
Today’s post continues yesterday’s theme of working with self tiling patterns. Today we will show how you can use a stack of self tiling patterns stored as individual frames in a movie file to build a set of hatching patterns, where each frame in the movie corresponds to a hatch pattern for a fixed luminance…
The following images shows a simple self-tiling pattern followed by a 2×2 and 4×4 tile of the original pattern. This post will discuss how to generate self-tiling effects in the paint synthesizer. We’ll also take a look at the simple MSG preset we used to generate the 2×2 and 4×4 tiling shown above.
Yesterday’s post described how to build a custom movie brush from a personal collection of images. With the ultimate goal of using the movie brush to build a photo mosaic effect in the paint synthesizer. But there are other applications of a custom movie file composed of a disparate set of individual images, like stack…
The following 2 images show off using a movie background texture to add visual complexity to a conventional simple rectangular gradient computation source brush. We’ll take a look under the hood of the paint synthesizer preset used to generate the above images in today’s post.
