You belong somewhere you feel free

Looping animation of multi-colored waves of gently-spinning star shapes packed into a circle appear, grow, shink, and disappear

Octothorp depths

Looping animation of light and dark colors sweeping through a square maze of various sized paths in the shape of an octothorp

scdollins,
@scdollins@genart.social avatar

@turtle_green It's a depth-first search maze generator / circle packing algorithm. The colors are animated based on their depth in the maze. Coded in Processing and glsl.

Some (near-)homophones that mean very different things that I see confused a lot

phase - faze
discreet - discrete
stationery - stationary
palette - palate
ordinance - ordnance
principle - principal

@rygorous I'd like to cite that that site is quite the sight

@rygorous My interest was piqued by a peek at the peak

Tunnel vision

Looping animation of a square maze wrapped around and spiraling into the center point. The maze is traced by many bright highlights that fade to muted colors and then to black.

Twisted triangular flow

Looping animation of non-overlapping branching paths with light-dark colors moving along them. Paths alternately follow swooping curves or jagged triangles.

Looking at old bookmarks, Fermat's Library was an account I liked, had some nice science introductory posts. They are not on fedi, lets check their twitter. They are active there. They are, umm, paying for it. And look, an elon fantweet. I just can't.

@curved_ruler Most of my shaders include these two:

vec3 randomPointOnUnitSphere( vec2 rnd ) {
float a = TAU * rnd.x;
float z = 2. * rnd.y - 1.;
return vec3( sqrt( max( 1.-z*z, 0. ) ) * vec2( cos(a), sin(a) ), z );
}

vec3 randomPointInUnitSphere( vec3 rnd ) {
float r = pow( rnd.z, 1./3. );
return randomPointOnUnitSphere( rnd.xy ) * r;
}

There is only one ball.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgp1-fQsBeg

Looping animation of what appears to be several multi-colored balls that grow and shrink as they squirm around each other, but they are all the same ball on a time-looping path.

“There is no one else,” I said. “In this universe, there’s just you and me.”

You stared blankly at me. “But all the people on earth…”

“All you. Different incarnations of you.”

“Wait. I’m everyone!?”

“Now you’re getting it,” I said, with a congratulatory slap on the back.

Something isn't looping correctly, but it leads to a nice effect.

Looping animation of multi-colored balls that grow and shrink as they squirm around each other. Every so often several of them move very quickly.

Zip zoop

Fixed my bug so now I can play with the parameters.

Looping animation of multi-colored balls that grow and shrink as they zip around each other. They leave a trail when they move especially fast.

scdollins,
@scdollins@genart.social avatar

@lritter It's a particle simulation of a single chain that wraps in the z direction. Points start in random locations and then try to join their neighbors until they pull together into an infinite knotted cylinder.

I render z-slices in the shader. The "zoops" happen when a strand is more parallel with the slice.

If you allow a square-grid maze to take the diagonals, it can cross over itself.

Looping depth-colored maze with bright tangled threads fading to darker colors.

Lisp, but the second nested parenthesis should be two ((, next ((( and so on.

scdollins,
@scdollins@genart.social avatar

@curved_ruler That could get unwieldy for very deep nesting so perhaps you could follow each parenthesis with a binary encoding of the depth using ( for 1 and ) for 0.

For instance, a 5th level '(' would be (()( and ')' would be )()(.

Feels like the sort of feature DreamBerd by @TodePond should have.

Flat-shaded knot

Looping animation of a tumbling, flat-shaded, multi-colored striped knot with a black outline on a white background

scdollins,
@scdollins@genart.social avatar

@piko Yes, it's a random knot every time. I place a bunch of points randomly in space and then draw them together into a chain with a simple physics simulation.

Scroll back a few months through my posts to see various others.
