I haven’t posted a Processing sketch in more than a year. So, here’s the recent sketch_2010_09_27_shard02.

Here is a recent sketch in Processing, my take on cubism and a variation on another sketch from almost two years ago: View sketch_rand_cubes_2009_01

Here is another recent sketch in Processing, a variation on a sketch from two years ago. View sketch_2009_09_02_squares

Here’s another recent sketch in Processing. This one has decidedly more visual complexity, with additional shapes and some white hatch lines for erosion. FWIW, I think it looks better at 1280×960 resolution. View sketch_april28_comp_Screen1.

I have been creating some new sketches in Processing. This sketch combines basic lines, bezier curves and triangles in a number of different ways. It’s still procedural code (running in a linear loop, as oppossed to object oriented, which I haven’t had time to explore), so I slowed down the frameRate() to be more viewable. Not every frame is a winner, but some are keepers, at least in my book. You can download the source code and uncomment the saveFrames() function to render the images to your computer. View sketch_march23_comp_Screen. More stills are in my Processing set on Flickr.

I had some time recently to mess about in Processing. For your consideration: sketch_2008_04_28_diagonal_lines2. Stare at it for a while and everything starts to make sense.

Update: I posted a few shorts to Vimeo: diagonal_lines2 / diagonal_lines3.

I’ve always enjoyed these patterns, so I decided to generate them. Someday I’ll be savvy enough to make it interactive. For your consideration: sketch_2007_12_11a

For your consideration: rand_cubes01b. This uses OpenGL to render, so edges are jagged. Let it go for a while to get some dense layering. Click the mouse to clear the screen and press a key to stop. Also on Vimeo.

For more interesting results, let this one go a while: sketch_2007_09_24_01 for your consideration. More on Flickr.

More images.

Update: applet, source code.

Random font test 03 is my first foray into using text functions in Processing. Yes, I’m still working with procedural code. Eventually, I hope to get my head around true object oriented programming (OOP) for more interactivity and generative art goodness. Above and below are a few stills (click to enlarge), and here’s a short movie of the results (1.25 MB .mov), also on Vimeo.

Random spheres 01 is my first foray into using 3D sphere and light functions in Processing. Above and below are a few stills (click to enlarge), and here’s a short movie of the results (932 KB .mov).

I have been experimenting with filter() to blur and posterize in Processing, and Random bezier blur & posterize is the result. Above are a few stills (click to enlarge), but it works best in motion. Here’s a short movie of the results (824 KB .mov). If you let it go for a while, it makes for a soothing light show. It runs as a Java applet here, but you can download the source code to save image sequences or rework.

I have uploaded Random circles greyscale, another sketch I created using Processing. Above are a few examples (click to enlarge). It runs as a Java applet here, but you can download the source code to save image sequences or rework. Here’s a short movie of the results (308 KB .mov).

I have uploaded Random bezier curve 02 color, another sketch I created using Processing. Above are a few examples (click to enlarge). It runs as a Java applet here, but you can download the source code to save image sequences or rework.

UPDATE: here’s a short movie of the results (520 KB .mov)

I have uploaded Random lines vertical sequence RGB 02, the latest sketch I have been working on using Processing. Above are a few examples (click to enlarge). It runs as a Java applet here, but you can download the source code to save image sequences or rework.

UPDATE: here’s a short movie of the results (150 KB .mov)
