Hidden away in the paint synthesizer in the Path Start control panel is the ‘Sketch to Internal Path Memory 1‘ option for the path start Generator parameter. This particular path start Generator option can be very powerful if you are interested in creating sketch style paint effects. But it can also be confusing to work…
Yesterday we showed how to configure the paint synthesizer to build vector paint blobs that simulate splashing paint. Today we’ll extend yesterday’s abstract paint effect to build a finished painting that is more representational of the source image.
Today’s post takes a look at how to configure the paint synthesizer to generate vector paint blobs that simulate splashing paint.
Today’s post combines 2 different kinds of text painting to build a paint effect that renders a source image with colored text words. Some paint synthesizer editing tricks are used to be somewhat clever about how the individual text words are positioned on the canvas.
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…
