I am developed a piece of software that makes generative images based on a trace by the user. I sketched out my name and then feed that into my program which rendered different version of the trace. The program uses a dynamic particle system to trace out the curves/lines/etc. The particles are constantly dying and being spawned and the tracer head is constantly moving, thus creating sketchy representations of the original. The particle system’s parameters can be varied to produce a range of images in different styles. These are just a couple of outcome of the software. If there is any interest in the software, let me know, i’ll release the source or code when I have time. See (more…)
3D Field Flow is an exploration of invisible space, fluid flow, thermodynamics and dynamical systems. Empty space surrounds us, however is this space really empty? The space around us is governed by the rules of thermodynamics and physics and shows some interesting behavior when simulated and visualized in 3D. 3D Field Flow starts to tackle the challenge of making invisible space visible by using a 3D vector field to stimulate a cube of empty virtual space. The flow inside the empty space is made detectable by using a particle system to visualize the ever-changing values of air velocity inside the diffusing 3D field. The interactive installation allows users to brush the virtual 3D field, allowing them to directly affect invisible space. The particle system acts as the medium by which the viewers can realize their presence and affects on the invisible space.

So what exactly are we looking at here? Well, I’ve been experimenting with swarming for a while now and wanted to make a video that combines my photography and particles effects that will draw my images for me in a pointillistic fashion. (more…)
