Anyone participating in this year’s Genuary? Here’s my day 1:
This is pretty close to slit-scanning. A difference with the usual approach is that the lines here have different colors on each end, and the colors are interpolated creating a gradient so it looks less flat.
I often avoid pure black background, but I ran out of lines to change it 
I’m participating too! I’m using both OPENRNDR and openFrameworks (since I’m reusing some sketches from before). Here are 2 made with OPENRNDR:
Nice!! I like both. Specially those particles on black 
Can you say anything about what goes on in that program? Are there some forces moving things around?
And welcome to the forum!
I’m adding daily links to Mastodon posts to
and the source code can also be found in that repository. I won’t post here every day to be less spammy
Thank you, Abe! It’s a flow field driven by a noise gradient. If any particle finds itself inside that circle in the middle, it speeds up to move out of there
Happy to join the forum, I’ve been meaning to be in touch. I’ve been loving OPENRNDR!
I used OPENRNDR in yesterday’s prompt. I took advantage of kdtree to draw lines in between moving points.
I actually did my first genuary prompt ever today! I was attending a local arts and crafts group where people where working on various stuff and I took some inspiration from a DIY perl neclace some had.
It’s not much (and I’m extremely rusty), but I had fun making it. I tried to make the rectangles follow the line of the contour, but I think I got some of the math wrong haha.
Cool to see everyone’s genuary pieces!
Welcome back to the forum! And nice to see your necklace!!
ShapeContour has a nice method called pose(t) which returns the transformation matrix for any point in the curve, which can make things easier. It can be used like this
val wobbly = hobbyCurve(List(6) {
drawer.bounds.center + Polar(it * 60.0, Random.double(20.0, 200.0)).cartesian
}, true)
val rects = List(20) {
Rectangle.fromCenter(Vector2.ZERO, 20.0, 20.0).contour.transform(wobbly.pose(it / 20.0))
}
Wow! I almost missed this event! Thanks for the heads-up; I’ll definitely join if it’s not too late. Thanks again! 
I think it’s never too late to join
