Mr Bannerman's Studio Artist 3D Tips
Mark invited to write some insights into his use of Studio Artist
Mark Bannerman was invited by John Dalton the creator of Studio Artist to write a piece on his experimental use of Studio Artist for adding an enhanced organic quality to 3D rendered artwork and texture creation.

Studio Artist is a resolution independent video graphic, painting, animation and rotoscope software tool used mainly in video post processing that works on the principles of a digital synthesizer for images. Unlike the on/off effects filters of Photoshop it's use of filters and painting mechanisms is more analogous to the human brains' perception of colour, form and texture within images and as such produces far more realistic natural media effects. Like a music synthesizer it also uses the concept of patches in linking how signals are processed when effecting every option within it's vast toolbox.

The piece is posted on the synthetik's company blog.

NB: Studio Artist is a Macintosh application only.
