This post discussed how to work with the path angle control panel in the Studio Artist’s paint synthesizer mode to adjust the orientation of the paint path relative to the orientation of the source image. Depending on whether the automatic painting attempts to follow the orientation of the source or draw perpendicular to it,…
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…
Today’s post is more of an introduction into a specific approach to building a wet paint effect in the paint synthesizer, as opposed to a tutorial on building a specific finished visual effect. The image above just shows a few wet spreading paint strokes drawn using today’s paint preset. Today’s paint preset works best for…
Someone recently asked about how to generate a progressive wet melt effect applied to a movie file. So that as the processed movie plays, the wet melt effect applied to the movie gets progressively more extreme over time. This is actually pretty easy to achieve in Studio Artist, by key-framing your wet melt effect over…
The image below is a frame capture from a simple animation generated by running a single paint synthesizer water wash preset in loop action while streaming the output into an open movie stream. We will be using the wet preset as a part of a more complicated generative paint animation in tomorrow’s post. But today…
