DECEMBER 20, 2002 Inside the Studio Artist Paint Synthesizer
Tweening will allow you to create morphing shapes that gradually transform themselves into new shapes to match the source image as the strokes move around the canvas. [an error occurred while processing this directive]Note that while the paths change shape over time, they do, in large part, maintain some continuity between frames. Which technique you use will depend on the effect you're trying to create, of course. And please note that the shape preservation options do not affect displacement, meaning that you will not see a perfect clone of a brush stroke on each frame. There is some randomness in Studio Artist that still can't be controlled, even with Time Particles. But Time Particles can, at least, provide some continuity between frames with a high degree of displacement. Spacing and Boundary The rest of the options in the TIme Particles settings relate to the way in which strokes move. They can move not at all or a lot or both, depending on how you keyframe the settings. For speed of motion, the primary setting is "Spacing." By default, this value is 10. Increasing this number will increase the space between strokes from frame to frame and therefore the speed of motion. For example, using the default Spacing of 10, a stroke in one frame will appear 10 pixels away in the next. Note that this figure can be set to 0 for no motion at all. However, if you save a preset with a Spacing of 0, it will revert to 1 the next time you use it.
