Today’s post take a look at a MSG preset that generates an abstraction effect via horizontal mirror reflection symmetry along with some additional image processing. This approach to generating symmetry effects is an alternative to a recent post where we used successive applications of an interactive warp translate effect to build mirror symmetry in a…
There are lot’s of different approaches you can take to mix vectorizer effects into a natural image. For this particular effect, I wanted to break up the smooth gradients in the original landscape photo by adding in a stylized vectorizer abstraction of the original photo. Rather than just overlay the vectorizer effect on top of…
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…
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…
This post continues a series we started yesterday on adding representational features from a source image into a very abstract canvas. This post starts with a flat random noise texture field and shows how you can use a modulated interactive warp to pull source features out of a totally random noise canvas.
