Watching a Paint Synth Evolution Image Generation Process

For this particular project, I had some very specific ideas I wanted to try and achieve concerning the look of the final painting (or paint animation) I was going for. I picked 4 specific paint presets from the Spiros Category in Assisted Painting

After I imported each specific paint preset I was interested in working with, I then pressed the Record command for one of the 4 Patch Memories (as shown in the second gallery image above). So when I was done, I had 4 very specific paint presets I had personally selected loaded into the 4 Patch Memories.

I then opened a new movie stream, using the Enable Gated AutoWrite frame write menu flag, with a frame write rate set at 10 frames per second. I then pressed the action button to start auto-drawing.

I then started pressing the different Play buttons associated with the 4 Patch Memories (as shown in the 3rd gallery image above)., switching between different paint preset (the ones I had pre-selected) on the fly while auto-drawing was taking place.

I then moved down to the mingle commands on the Paint Synthesizer Evolution Help Page ( as shown in the 4th gallery image above). I started pressing different mingle commands, again mingling the different Patch Memories on the fly while auto-painting was taking place. If I came up with an interesting new pain tpreset who’s behavior I liked, I let it draw for awhile before trying a new mingle command. When I got to the point where I appeared to have a finished canvas I was happy with, I pressed the spacebar to stop painting.

You can see the movie stream output of my live evolution session here.

I then continued on with a second live evolution session. The second gallery image at the top of the post is the end result of that live evolution session, whose movie stream can be seen here.
