I've felt overwhelmed by what's happened this week, and unable to create anything worthwhile for Genuary, so here is a #ProceduralArtwork from last fall. I created this system based on #Genuary2024 #Genuary11, "In the style of Anni Albers". I had collected some of her works in advance of it, and then got Covid. I finally made something based on my favorite piece of hers, shown below. I titled this system "Pea Field Quilt" as it is inspired by farming and farm traditions of my home of Minnesota.

The length of the green border is constant; always 4 times the diameter of the circle yet it can be made to approach arbitrarily close to the circumference

With all the work today, over at vis.social, I almost forgot to post this photo.

I did some test prints, and most of them turned out great!

The one I expected to not work great, was ok. But not great.

Some of them are gorgeous...at least to me :)

These are created from some of my #genuary2024 creative coding experiments.

@r_flash I'm blown away scrolling back through your #genuary2024 toots, tremendous stuff

Genuary day 31: generative music? Fortunately I'm the kinda girl who has a custom built GPU based synth thing lying around
This was a very quick thing because I gotta go out before 9am, and mastered on my laptop so it probably sounds awful.
I reused the instruments from Electrocat, and that synth just begs to meow :3

I did it!

31 sketches for Genuary! I focused on polar coordinates and rotational symmetries with some deviations.

My first foray into using shaders with #Processing

Vertex shader displaces the surface of a sphere. Fragment shader maps texture coordinates to colours.

Time to say good bye to #genuary2024. (Actually tomorrow, but my time slots are unpredictable.) It was a lot of fun. Huge thanks to everyone who took part.

Also, big thanks to the creators of #bitwig for making the creation of all kinds of avantgarde weirdness in #TheGrid so much fun

Genuary Prompt 30: Shaders

I haven't managed to get my head space into GPU. So here's some shading with CPU...

The object (here a sphere) is specified by an array of Locations and normal vectors. The angle between light direction and normal vector tells how bright a point is. Then it gets drawn.

Genuary day 30: shaders. It's shaders all the way down, but I added a new lighting shader for today with an audio-reactive grid.
Shaders used here:
- Particles are randomly generated through a volume (compute)
- Particle system applies some physics to wrap the particles around an SDF (compute)
- Whole system gets rasterised with a mx of points and lines (vertex/fragment)
- Bloom (mix)
- Post processing / colour grading (compute)
Music: Heaven - truth or dare

#genuary30 Shaders

well, I did generative music for genuary, but it may not run on many devices - sorry.

#genuary2024 day 29: Signed Distance Functions
Transition between two SDFs

Genuary 29, "SDF". Uh, I've been using SDFs every single day, whole engine is SDF based. So here's day 1 again, but now with the new FFT based stuff I've added.

Genuary day 29: “Signed Distance Functions”, handily also covering day 12: “lava lamp” and day 30: "shaders”.

This uses the recent custom 3D shader support in Flitter. A simple physics system is used to determine the position, size and temperature of a bunch of spheres and then these are "smooth” union-ed and rendered with a custom ray-marching SDF shader. A satisfying blobiness in this.
