how to make a kaleidoscopic modulo art? Can you please show me a sample or poster of kaleidoscopic?

Hi,
There are several different approaches to building kaleidoscopic art in Studio Artist.
There are MSG processors that directly generate kaleidoscopic symmetry effects. There are also additional MSG processors that perform various kinds of symmetry warps that can be used to build kaleidoscopic symmetry. MSG stands for modular synthesized graphics, and is a modular image processing architecture that allows a user to build custom image processing effects using hundreds of different image processing modules that can be combined together to build custom processing effects.
There are a number of Interactive Warp that directly generate different kaleidoscopic effects. You can play around with those in the downloadable Studio Artist trial. To work with an Interactive Warp effect, you just switch to interactive warp operation mode, choose the effects you want to use, then click the mouse in the canvas and drag it to interactively generate the warp effect. So you'd choose one of the many warp effects with kaleido in their names.
You can turn on Symmetry options in the paint synthesizer that will force paint presets to draw with symmetry. This can be used to build up kaleidoscopic symmetry via painting.
Here's an introduction to MSG.

Here are some Studio Artist effect blog posts that discuss different ways to build kaleidoscopic symmetry effects.

Here's are some of John Dalton's Studio Artist art posts with the Symmetry tag, some of which show off different symmetry effects.

Here are some Studio Artist User group gallery photos that are tagged with Symmetry

I'll ask the person putting together our training videos to put together one on working with Interactive Warp effects to build kaleidoscopic imagery. I can also ask John to post some more generic kaleidoscopic effect examples.

Hi again
Just wanted to add that you can also do some cool interactive kaleidoscopic art and make movies or stills using the Dual Paint Mode. Here's two videos that explain how
