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.
I was working with a paint action sequence (PASeq) that builds generative paint animation when run over time. I wanted to add a symmetry warp effect to the animation. In doing so I ran into an interesting case where just adding the warp effect to my existing PASeq worked fine for a single frame but…
We’ve been talking about different approaches to building symmetry in our recent posts. I wanted to conclude the discussions by taking a look at a piece I recently put together. We’ll take an overview look at how the above image was constructed in this post.
We’ve discussed building symmetry effects in the last 2 posts using a simple MSG preset. This post shows off a different approach to building symmetry effects using interactive Translate warps.
Today’s post continues the discussion I started yesterday about a moving symmetry effect based on temporal processing of a dancers motion. Yesterday’s post detailed the specifics of how I built a simple MSG preset to create the symmetry effect. Today’s post will take a look at the rest of the processing used to create the…
