"Touch of Evil"
The touched bore the stigma for their entire lives. Defiled and unclean, their only comfort was in passing it onto the next generation.
#genuary#genuary3 My (late) submission for the Droste effect: Using #bevy and the "render to texture" mechanism to replicate the entire frame, and adding a dancing line. Took me around 3h, and i knew exactly how to approach the prompt. Don't think i'll participate much more often.
This topic offers many heavy-duty mathematical digressions (e.g., Escher's "Print Gallery"), but I don't have time to go all-out on sketches this month.
Genuary day 3: “Droste effect”. This is an infinite visual recursion effect. Here I'm texture mapping the output of drawing the spinning cube back onto the faces of that cube. I had to literally rewrite the primitive model handling of Flitter to do this, but I’d been putting that work off for ages, so glad to have it done right at last.
GENUARY is an artificially generated #month of time where we build #code that makes #beautiful things.
It’s happening during the month of #January 2024, and everybody is invited!
Over the 744 hours of January, for every 24 hours there will be one prompt for your code #art.
You don’t have to follow the #prompt exactly. Or even at all. But, y’know, we put effort into this.
You can use any #language, #framework or medium, on any planet. Feel free to use your own brain or an inscrutable matrix of weights. You can even use vim, it’s not like I can stop you.
Today's prompt is "Particles", and I've posted some of my thinking and images my code produced on my Patreon and Ko-fi. These are public posts, not just for my suporters:
Well, this is basically a recursive image with a smaller version of the large image somewhere within the large image. I went abstract, and updated an older piece.
It took me longer than I expected, but it was a fun challenge.
it's weird that doing this recursively is apparently the only way in p5 to save the transform matrix across calls, as in the draw loop doesn't? anyway mixing recursion and iteration is cursed and i hate it thanks.
Using #genuary prompts to get more fluent on the #tic80 virtual retrocomputer. This started life as a 3D swirl of sine waves and ended flattened into many of these kaleidoscope mandalas. The loop's very simple, you can tweak some parameters but i like this one.
For #genuary3 "Droste effect", a #tic80 in a gallery displays itself displaying the code from #genuary2, recursively until we run out of pixels. Each copy of it looks further into the future of colour space
I learned to use the sprite editor and write to parts of the palette that the sprites aren't using
