Hexagonal Photo Mosaic Grid Effect

Today’s post will discuss how to build a movie brush that incorporates an embedded alpha channel to create a photo mosaic effect based on a hexagonal grid. The trick is to build your movie brush to include a hexagonal embedded alpha channel mask. And to then use that embedded alpha channel movie brush in the…

Building a Paint Strategy Ex4

Today’s post continues our exploration of different approaches to generating paint strategies that work to build up different visual aesthetic paint effects. Today’s example takes an extreme approach to get across that how you approach this task is only limited by your imagination, and the end result may be very different than the individual sub-components…

Using the Vectorizer to Define PhotoMosaic Shapes

Yesterday we showed how to use the Vectorizer to generate flat colored regions that were then used to position paint synthesizer text brush word positioning. Today we’ll show an approach to use the Vectorizer to build a region effect abstracted flat color source representation that the paint synthesizer will then convert into a photo mosaic…
