I’m learning to draw with code. A lot of what I’ve seen out there in the interwebs is based on mathematical theories named after dudes from the sixties and seventies. I’m inspired by all that, but I’m also interested in recreating systems in nature through generative art. Here is a simple nest I drew with [...]

Pink Box

Behold, my very first generative comp. The image of a neon hot pink, scribbled, slightly-rotated square popped into my head one day. Maybe I’ve been listening to too much Justice. Made w/ Actionscript 3 and the Bezier curve fitting function built into Tweener.

Drowning in Curves
July 25th, 2008 · No Comments · Art, Code, Digital Process, Drawing
In the same masochistic way I let a ping-pong sorting algorithim rule my life, I’ve been obsessing on how to draw elegant fluid curves in AS3 via Flash’s drawing API. This mostly started from being inspired by Erik Natzke’s work.

Generating Topo Map Lines
May 31st, 2008 · 1 Comment · Art, Digital Process, Drawing
The last few days I’ve immersed myself in Math. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to generate lines that mimic topography with the ActionScript 3 Drawing API. I studied the math that goes into bezier cubic and quadratic curves, and investigated a little bit in Sin waves. All I ended up with was [...]

Papervision 2.0 Collada Import DAE from Sketchup
April 18th, 2008 · 3 Comments · Code
I’ve been working how to get models from Google Sketchup to Papervision. They currently are working on Collada parsers specific to Sketchup. That should make textures a tad bit easier. Until then;
Here is a link to the source code and a working example.

SWX and Twitter
November 20th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Code
While trying to decide whether to use the Twitter AS2 or AS3 API, I stumbled across SWX, This is an AMAZING standard for getting data into Flash from some of the more popular social media APIs. I expect it to be my new best friend. It’s based on some some existing methods for getting Data. [...]
