Linear Memory (WIP), variations on a theme... exploring the terrain. Impressed by the resulting complexity, considering the simplicity of the system/setup...
As I am always struggling to remember how to get the noise I want in my procedural shaders in Blender, I have started to make screen captures of nodes and the corresponding result.
And I was wondering if it would be of some use to others. If so, I can create a repository with the screencaptures and a zip file with all of them. So git peoples will have everything sync with a command, and other people would download a zip.
Did some more brainstorming about a title for this project/piece and have settled on STRATA for now — these emerging structures/fragments very much remind me of them (rock strata and/or thin section microscopy) and the many folds & cross-stratifications observed on my hikes over the past few years have been a regular inspiration to keep working on this project...
Been slacking posting more art here, so time for a teensy selection of an old generative/evolutionary system from 2014 (then used for my HOLO 2 magazine guest design). Originally written in Clojure, meanwhile ported to TypeScript & Zig, I've kept working on & experimenting with it ever since... 1000s of screenshots and 100s of versions to sift through. Loosely based on research done by Barricelli[1] since the early 1950s, conceptually and aesthetically it sits nicely between my C-SCAPE and De/Frag and has a similarly huge design space to explore (in some versions coupled with genetic programming to evolve cell replication rules)... There's a 1500 word draft blog post from back then too, which goes into more detail and history of this approach. Maybe its time to publish that one too at last... :)
I actually got this #SixOnSaturday readyin time, but by then it was late and since it had been a work day, no more oomph to post ( I take text and alt text seriously, no quick matter! lol)
We had snowy days and cold (seasonally adjusted- days in mid minus teens C) so views of #snow covered #garden beds, #texture and cool #light with a shadowy selfie + Aloe #flowers taking a look at a Haworthia- indoors of course! #winter#WinterPictures#March#Alberta#houseplants#succulents#CountryLiving
