Synthetik's Studio Artist

What is Synthetik’s Studio Artist?

Synthetik’s Studio Artist is an AI-powered digital canvas that can paint and draw automatically, helping you create visuals and animations. Its feature set includes automatic sketching, self-animating abstract effects, video-to-rotoscope conversion, automatic photo mosaics, instant photo-to-vector conversion, an interactive Spiro Art generator, a broad range of image effects, generative art with MSG, and interactive warping. Painting and drawing can be done manually, with assistance, or fully automatically.

What distinguishes Studio Artist is its use of artificial intelligence built on an embedded model of the human visual cortex, which helps it generate distinctive artistic output rather than simple filter effects. It can transform photos into various painting styles, including oil painting, watercolors, abstract art, and sketches.

Additional tools include the Vectorizer, which converts raster images into scalable vector art, plus a suite of effects for images, videos, and photos. On the animation side, Studio Artist supports animation creation, rotoscoping, video effects, and interactive computer-generated art.

Who created Synthetik’s Studio Artist?

Studio Artist is developed by Synthetik Software, a company founded by John Dalton, who also has a background in digital audio multi-tracking with OSC. Studio Artist was first introduced at MacWorld NYC. Synthetik focuses on blending neuroscience, AI, computer graphics, and digital video to build software for creative exploration.
