Project 2

After the interm presentation I sat down and re-assessed my idea. i figured that my goal was a little to much work to fit into the time frame and the idea didn't fit nicely with the brief.


So decided to start off simple and make a circle follow me around the screen, simple enough. It worked but it just wasn't fluid enough. i did a little experimenting and for the "dist" operator! This helped me create a smooth following motion, that seems to chace rather than follow.

I messed around with arrays and selecting them for a bit, but not much came out of it except this.

The next little step was to make the ball look more like a ball. So I added a shadow, bounce effect a little sound and variating speend and this worked quite nicely.

Then the focus went to more sound. I made the different sound play on different shape and created loads of test files for dragging shape and sound. such an effort.

Then to finish off I wanted to abstract the whole experience so I removed the background and added some tranparency to give a nice layered effect.

Here is the final product....

Week 1 DSDN 142

http://www.openprocessing.org/portal/?userID=10146
This is a link to my openprocssing account. On there I have four sketches and on little java app.

This, I call it Peacock, was my first ever completed sketch. The pattern comes mainly from two arcs with there x and y points in the opposite corners of the pattern.

HoneyComb came from my sketch, it's really simple but has and awesome effect.

Lanterns is my fanciest creation, I used loops and made my own function and it somehow created an amazing effect I wasn't expecting.

This, Scales, I think is the most elegant of the lot though. I was browsing pattens on the net and the Ben said I should try this one, so I did. I'm so happy with the result. Worked first time for once!

So those are my main four sketches, but here are a few more I made. If you like them, the code should be up on openprocessing as soon as I get the code off my now dead laptop. :)

Thanks, Have a graet next week!

Happy Birthday!

DSDN 142 First Day

These are my first couple of creations I made when I got home after class. The pink ones are drawn with the mouse and the other two are made with the random() class.  The last one is my favorite.
