This project is very close to done now.. although technically its a long form generative project it will only ever be used to generate a small number of fixed outputs. (Although I guess if I share the code anyone can generate however many they like.)
Next step is figuring out how to increase the resolution high enough for printing despite memory constraints. This is essentially just a massive scatterplot and at the moment R on my PC is struggling!
Two more outputs from my flow field system. Trying to judge by eye what makes a good composition from the random outputs and then restricting the system to make those combinations more likely.
I thought I was finished with the final pieces that I wanted to make from this system, but then I discovered that {ggblend} creates some interesting effects. #GenerativeArt#RStats#Rtistry
More iterations of this generative art system. I'm going to have to decide that this is finished at some point, but the temptation to continually make tweaks is very strong.
Me when I was so close to figuring out a difficult nesting/iteration problem from some #rtistry in #rstats, but then its 1am and everything is just a mess and you cant work on it anymore because you have to go to sleep to wake up and spend time w/ your family before vacation ends🥲
Working on the flow field system that I describe in the blog linked from my pinned post. That was more technical, here I'm trying to think more carefully about colour and composition. I've embraced/accented the geometric structure by adding some visible guides, and added the square element to integrate the round shape better onto a square page.
Hi everyone! My name is Will, here's my #introduction. I work in public health, managing a small team doing data work. I'm mostly here for the #rstats content! I love coding, but have very reluctantly also become pretty proficient with Tableau (which I do not recommend at all).
I dabble in homebrewing beer and mountain biking, but really most of my free time is happily spent with my kids, who just turned 4 and 1 (well, it's mostly happy at least 😁)
@wmoir
First and foremost, welcome to the fediverse🍻
There are a ton of :rstats: people. One way that I find the content is to follow the #rstats hashtag and also follow @rstats which reposts everything that it is mentioned in (including this post 🤓).
There are also typical hashtags like #rtistry and #tidytuesday if you are into those as well.
This one was from a mistake in my code. I used colorRamp() instead of colorRampPalette(), so my colours were interpreted as vectors of integers rather than as RGB colours. Hence the three randomly selected colours from the base R palette for each part of the image. But it works!
Still working on this, I don't usually spend so long on individual pieces but maybe I should. I get the feeling there is something really good in here but I haven't quite found it yet. #rtistry#mathart#genartclub#genart
The image needed something for the foreground and I think this works. Tried a few simpler geometric shapes but it was a bit jarring. This feels nicely organic to go with the background.
Something I don't always remember when making #mathart is to change parameters at random just to see what happens. This code is almost identical to the last image, if you make the individual flowers much much bigger so they overwhelm the image. #rtistry#genartclub
