Studio Artist is the World's First Graphics
Synthesizer!
Studio Artist opens up a whole new world for visual artists and design
professionals. Based on music synthesis, cognitive neuroscience and visual
perception, Studio Artist is changing the way digital art and design is made.
Version 1.5 Feature Highlights
- 3D Paint Lighting Effects - A new Paint Synthesizer panel
called Paint Brush Load allows for a wide range of area based 3D
paint lighting and special effects. Light source can be positioned
in 3D space as well as interactively modulated with Wacom tablet
while drawing. New integral dynamic texture generator allows for up
to 4 simultaneous dynamic texture generators interacting for real
time painting.
- New Movie and Background Texture Options - Paint
Synthesizer Background Texture Module greatly expanded. Supports
color background textures as well as Movie textures. Two dynamic
movie textures can now be a part of a paint tool. Dynamic Brush can
now be directly modulated by background texture. Tracking options
for all Paint Synthesizer dynamic texture generators enhanced.
- User Color Palettes and Improved Color Options - There are
2 new Source options, Color Squares and Color Gradient. Color
Squares allow a user to specify a palette of colors. Option click an
individual square to record a new color, click to choose an existing
color. Color Square palettes can be imported and exported to disk.
New menu commands allow for automatic generation or evolution of
Color Palettes.
- New control settings in the Paint Synthesizer (Paint Color Source)
allow for automatic colorization based on the Color Squares palette.
Color Palettes can be keyframe animated over time in Paint Action
Sequences. Single color monochromatic paintings are now also
supported in Paint Color Source. Additional paint coloring
strategies (like analogous color) are also available.
- New Image Processing Operations - New autoregionization
image operation (Watershed Regionize). New nonlinear filtering
options (Morpholizer and Smart Morpholizer) greatly extend the power
of the old Morphol IP OP. Color Mapping Ip OP allows for
sophesticated color mapping based on the current Source Color
Squares palette. New Gradient Lighting Effects for Canvas. Several
additional new IP OPs and enhancements to existing Ip OPs.
- Morphing and Warping - Quality of warp and morph
transformations has been improved. Additional morph options now
include transitional (old method) vs fixed morphs. Fixed morphs
allows for user keyframing of percent of morph for ease in/out or
fixed percentage morphs between free running movies. Nonlinear
filtering option based on the warp transformation field is a new
additional option in Timeline Animation.
- Warp, Morph, and Nonlinear timeline animations can now be recorded
as an action step in a Paint Action Sequence. Masking now works for
warps and morphs.
- The old timeline animation window is now an integral part of the
Canvas Layers window. The keyframe cells are attached to the right
of each Canvas Layer in the Layer list.
- Enhanced Time-Based Effects - Studio Artist 1.5 Paint
Action Sequences are now fully automatable over time via keyframe
editing on an animation timeline. Every editable parameter within
Studio Artist can be animated over time. This includes everything in
the four main effects modules as well as all of the extensive
selection options available within the program. This vastly extends
the range of possible video effects available within Studio Artist.
Option click to record a keyframe cell, cmnd option click to remove
an existing cell.
- Quicktime movies can now be loaded directly into the Image Source.
A second set of movie transport controls above the movie source
appear to control source movie playback and in/out points.
- New Core Processing Modules - Studio Artist 1.5 includes a
new core processing module, the Texture Synthesizer. Studio Artist's
Texture Synthesizer provides a wide range of resolution independent
visual effects. The Texture Synthesizer is based on a sophisticated
texture generator with integral effects processing and extensive
modulation capabilities. Like all of the core visual processing
modules, editable Texture Synthesizer presets can be built and
categorized for easy access while working. By combining the core
visual processing modules of the Paint Synthesizer, Texture
Synthesizer, Image Processing Operations, and Image Warping and
Morphing, an unlimited number of visual effects can be generated for
use in painting on 2D canvases or within video sequences.
- Interactive Adjust is a new core processing module. It allows for
interactive manipulation of the Canvas image or interactive
generation of gradient based effects within the Canvas. This module
is in its initial development, but the existing functionality is
included in this release.
- New Wacom Intuos Demo Projects and Presets examples provide a
project based tutorial introduction to the power of Studio Artist in
combination with the Wacom Intuos tablets.
Unique and Unlimited User Editable Natural
to Out-Of-This-World Paints
Simulate natural art materials or create totally new, unique personal paint
tools. Wet paints that mix and smear, dynamic brush textures that evolve
under your control. Let your imagination go wild. With over 200 controls
Studio Artist will never run out of new looks!
Intelligent-Assisted Painting and Drawing
-- Studio Artist Knows How to Paint and Draw
Studio Artist is the first graphics software that can automatically paint and
draw based on built-in intelligent visual perception modules. Studio Artist
examines a source image, then re-renders it in the style you choose,
automatically or interactively. Whatever level of skill,
Intelligent-Assisted drawing can greatly expand creative expression. With
Studio Artist, a user with little or no skills can now paint and draw easily.
For the user with more advanced skills,
Intelligent-Assisted drawing greatly expands creative power. By dynamically
controlling smart brushes completely unique visual looks can be generated.
This hybrid drawing process can also dramatically speed up complicated or
tedious drawing tasks.
Resolution Independence
Studio Artist uses a unique hybrid graphics model that combines the
complexity and richness of raster paint with the editability of vector paths.
Drawings and paintings can be edited using Bezier curves after the fact.
Paintings can be designed at low resolution and then re-rendered at higher
resolution with added detail. Individual paint strokes can also be animated
using unlimited keyframes and output as QuickTime movies. Each Canvas layer
can have its own set of animation keyframes.
Unlimited Paint and Drawing Presets
With over 600 amazing factory presets you will immediately start creating,
quickly and effortlessly. Just pick a category, click on a paint preset icon,
and go. Itıs that easy! When you want more, download a fresh batch from our
website or automatically make your own with the Paint Evolution Module.
The Limitless Paint Synthesizer
Unlike other paint programs with a small number of editable parameters,
Studio Artist 's Paint Synthesizer module has literally hundreds of editable
controls. This kind of control enables Studio Artist to produce unlimited
lush dynamic and complex paints that allow for the randomness or happy
accidents of real art materials.
But realistic oil, chalk , watercolor or wet
paints are only a part of the picture. Studio Artist travels way beyond the
world of natural media and into the realm of Wow! Watch paint brushes
interact with your canvas creating truly interactive, unique paintings,
drawings and processed video.
Image Processing
Studio Artist has a full range of image processing filters and unique visual
effects. These include Smart filters that change depending on image visual
attributes, nonlinear morphological processes, an intelligent image
compressor that automatically dodges and burns for you, and smart
interpolators that autofill empty canvas space by extrapolating existing
detail.
All image processing operations have built in
compositing, which means that each image operation is really several effects
in one. Iterative or repetitive operations can also be defined.
Custom art processes can be designed that
combine paint operations and image processing filters as Paint Action
Sequences. Recorded Paint Action Sequences can then be applied to other
Source images or to QuickTime movies.
Real-time Warping and Morphing
Warp, stretch, and mutilate images in real-time using a pressure sensitive
pen or mouse. Design vector-based unlimited keyframe image warps, morphs, or
video feedback effects that can be saved as QuickTime movies.
Dynamic Kaleidoscope and Symmetry Effects
Take a pedestrian image and generate compelling art in seconds with dynamic
interactive kaleidoscope and symmetry effects. With just a mouse move this
way and that instantly create amazing effects.
