The following image is a frame capture from a simple animation that shows a source image shattering outwards. The effect was generated by using the time particle features of the paint synthesizer. This post will discuss how this simple animation effect was put together.
This post continues the discussion about using embedded bezier paths to generate keyframed animation that morphs between a series of stylized renditions of different source images. We will extend yesterday’s black and white sketch animation example by incorporating a second animating Bezier Context action step that encodes a morphing colored backing for the animation.
The following screen shot shows the MSG Evolution Editor and it’s associated context menu commands. The context menu command called Run TG Grid Preview allows you to preview MSG presets that incorporate temporal generators attached to individual editable parameters. All of the individual small MSG preview cells will self-animate when TG Grid Preview is…
The following image was generated by running a MSG preset in loop action mode. Loop Action means that the effect is run over and over again until the user presses the spacebar to stop the loop action cycles. The MSG effect incorporates temporal generators (TG), which are attached to editable MSG parameters. You can…
Today’s post continues the image modulated apollonian gasket close packing experiment we started in yesterday’s post. We’ll modify yesterday’s MSG preset to combine 2 different image modulated close-packed abstractions into a single output image. And we’ll use self-modulating recursion to generate a series of images to build an abstract animation.
