Today’s post shows off a simple example of using the Watershed Sketch image operation effect. Watershed Sketch takes an image input and can generate a variety of colored sketch effects. While today’s post will use the Watershed Sketch effect to generate a raster sketch image, you can also use Watershed Sketch to generate bezier paths…
A recent discussion on the Studio Artist User Forum about building paint action sequence (PASeq) presets to simulate brown weathered paper inspired me to put together a petroglyph simulation this afternoon. I’ll detail how I built the petroglyph effect in this post.
The Studio Artist paint synthesizer is capable of some really nice smart sketch paint effects. However, sometimes you need to fine tune the editable parameters associated with the intelligent sketch behavior to get the best rendition of your particular source image. Today’s post will take a look at how to fine tune a sketch effect.
The paint synthesizer has always had a number of smart paint dropout options that can be turned on to add visual intelligence to building up sketch effects. Some of these old options depended on starting with a white or black canvas. Studio Artist includes some smart sketch options based on the Blanking Buffer, which allows…
The following image is a still frame from a bezier path tween animation. A series of bezier path edge sketches were keyframed to build a morphing animation that transforms through a sequence of different still images of faces. The still image sketch output shown above was generated between 2 keyframes, so it’s a sketch…
