Today’s post continues our recent discussion of some different approaches to building wet paint effects. Today’s post takes a look at a paint preset that simulates painting on top of a wet paper towel. This produces a very soft diffuse wet colored paint backing effect. Yesterday we talked about how to use a…
Some recent user forum discussions have asked about how to build image tiling effects where the image tile successively rotates as individual tiling paint nibs are painted in one by one. Today’s post shows one approach to doing this in the paint synthesizer that uses the built in horizontal and vertical symmetry control options associated…
We’ve recently discussed various uses for movie pixel indexed background textures. Today’s post points out a useful feature associated with all image or movie based background textures you may be unaware of, the ability to build symmetry operations into the tiling associated with any image or movie based background texture.
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 :…
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.
