Each dot moves around a square but a general pattern controls the phase of the movement, giving the illusion of standing waves. Give it a repost if you like it. #creativecoding#p5js
My first #PortfolioDay! I’m Paul and I’m an artist that uses modern code to create unique works using vintage pen plotters, which I also collect and repair as needed. My works are typically in CMY color but I also do monochrome or other specialty inks. I can do up to 36”x48”.
I’ve been #RetroComputing for a while now but I wanted to do a little #PenPlotter today since I’m participating in #ptpx this year. Here’s an idea I’ve wanted to implement for a while. Designed in Python, plotter on a HP 7550 Plus vintage plotter.
Taking these shapes from concept to code took me far longer then it probably should have. One of those sketches that take a lot of thought and effort to try and look effortless.
This is basically the same code as my flocking algorithms, but looks cooler. 12,000 particles "flock" to be near their loop neighbors while avoiding other collisions.
