hey could someone let me know who bret victor is?

its been 20 minutes and ive forgotten

@TodePond Sorry to interrupt, but a Brit vector is any mechanism for spreading British memes, e.g. Monty Python or Douglas Adams quotes. Or todepond videos.

@bit101 Next you can raytrace them and set the z-buffer depth values: https://infinitefunspace.com/p5/ball/

A Spiral of Cetaceans in a Swirling Sea

looping animation of waves of light fading to dark sweeping through a radially symmetric circular maze with multiple smooth paths spiraling out separated by swirling paths spiraling inward

scdollins,
@scdollins@genart.social avatar

@txo_elurmaluta It's a maze where the paths have a bias to follow a polar graph of a multi-armed spiral. The animation colors each segment of the maze based on its distance to the starting point with a shifting phase.

Chromatic hearts

@qtasep Ah, but it is. It just has one particularly creative three-footed tile.

Looping flock

Coherent noise yields a coherent flock

- Flocking

Multi-colored worm-like particles swarm around in flock-like behavior within a sphere

scdollins,
@scdollins@genart.social avatar

@tschundler Right. Their behavior is only coherent because the underlying noise function is coherent. I just add a looping noise value to their start position and scale it back down into a sphere.

Flock by hue

Particles are most strongly attracted to the hue just ahead of them on the color wheel and flee the ones opposite.

- Flocking

4000 particles swarm around each other creating temporary rainbow flows that break and reform as they crash into each other.

3D Flock by hue

Particles are most strongly attracted to the hue just ahead of them on the color wheel and flee the ones opposite.

- Flocking

4000 particles swarm around within a sphere forming rainbow flows that break and reform as they pass near each other.

scdollins,
@scdollins@genart.social avatar

@qurlyjoe Yes. After the initial random start, it's purely deterministic, so the same initial conditions should always lead to the same animation.

The frustrating aspect to simulations is that there is no closed loop unless you do some rather contrived forcing to move particles back to their start positions.

Vorticial gloop

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.

- Flocking

Animation of very convoluted nested loops filled with blue, dark green, yellow, and red swirl around in a gravity flow field.

Mandala gloop

Animation of 7 nested convoluted loops with 7-fold symmetry writhing around. The loops are filled with light and dark colors from pale blue through greens, yellow, and red.

Gloopy techtonics

10,000 looped particles in my own physics library with gravity = x-coordinate.

- Use a physics library
- Draw 10,000 of something

Simulation of 10,000 particles in six nested loops with two-way symmetry with gravity pulling down on the left and up on the right so the loops swirl around for one minute.
