It’s closing on a year since I uploaded my last project. This one is a rare project that combines all three of the themes of this site. Several of my projects have used Processing. It’s a quick and fun way to prototype projects, and it can grow to be pretty powerful before needing to move… Continue Reading… Continue Reading
Hexagons
Sometimes hexagons just make better shapes than squares do. With that in mind, I decided to have some fun creating fields of hexagons, and then doing stuff with them. I created a script that fills a rectangular field with hexagons, then moves and colors the hexagons according to some simple algorithms. The results are pretty… Continue Reading… Continue Reading
Turing Pattern Generator
A while back, I was looking for a quick way to generate some Turing reaction-diffusion patterns. You know, as a way to pass a lazy Saturday afternoon. What I came a across was Cyclic Symmetric Multi-Scale Turing Patterns by Jonathan McCabe, and a number of links to implementations of some of his algorithms. One of these implementations… Continue Reading… Continue Reading
Voxel Filling a Mesh
A colleague asked me about a basic voxelizing script he had run across. (Voxels are the 3-d equivalent of pixels — building blocks of a larger shape). It was rudimentary, but it got the job done most of the time. It made good use of the MFnMesh::allIntersections to determine where voxels should go on the… Continue Reading… Continue Reading
ITAA Indoor State Championship
The ITAA State Indoor Championship is coming up in mid-February. We have a North and South venue this year (one in Sycamore, and one in Belleville), to make the drive easier.
