Studio Artist

The goal for the Studio Artist 3.5 release was to significantly increase the underlying functionality of Studio Artist 3.0 without making major changes to the existing interface and editing paradigms.

Some Highlights of the major 3.5 feature enhancements include: Paint Synthesizer - new dynamic liquid spreading effects - new ways to simulate the realism of dynamic brush bristles and paint loading and gradient effects on a brush - new auto regionization algorithms that intelligently analyze a source image, break it up into representational local regions, and then paint in those regions - smart keyframe interpolation to animate a series of freestyle drawn sketches or paintings - smart texture patterning for pixel accurate custom shading effects - extensive additions to internal controls and parameter modulators for more expressive and organic paint effects - MSG presets can now directly control Studio Artist drawing - full support for the new Wacom 6D ArtPen - Layer routing via bus for layer cloning - enhanced support for larger internal path buffers, better keyframe interpolation performance - dynamic multi nib source brushes - new color gradient and image processing brush loading effects Image Processing - new image processing effects - extensive additions and enhancements to existing image processing effects - integration of the Texture Synthesizer directly into Image Operations for Hybrid effects - new PASeq and file io support for integral color palette and color gradient based effects Interactive Warping - new super kaleidoscopic effects, new symmetry effects, many other new effect options Presets - many new pre-built presets to show off the new 3.5 functionality - including new Paint, MSG, Image Op, and PASeq presets - new graffiti Movie brush effects for a unique urban aesthetic
