Each Studio Artist layer has an associated bezier path frame. The bezier path frame is a buffer for bezier vector paths. Studio Artist has a unique internal graphics model for paint strokes that paints raster paint over vector paths. The nice thing about vector paths is that they are resolution independent and in the case…
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.
The image above is a frame capture from an abstract procedural animation generated by a MSG preset. The movement in the animation is built from a combination of attaching temporal generators to some MSG editable parameters along with the use of keyframe animation to interpolate between 2 different color palettes over the course of the…
The following image is a frame capture from an animation generated by running a MSG preset in loop action into an open movie stream. The processing is recursive, which means that the output of the previous MSG processing cycle is used as the input to the current MSG processing cycle. This post extends on the…
Studio Artist uses Paint Action Sequences to process QuickTime movie files. We have discussed the mechanics of working with Paint Action Sequences in previous tutorials and the User Guide. This tutorial is a more advanced look at different strategies to keep in mind when constructing Paint Action Sequences to process movie files.
