Here's yesterday's talk "Creative Coding in #OPENRNDR" at the #Kotlin Conf 2024. The first half show work by Edwin (principal developer of the framework) and the RNDR team.
The second part, starting at 6:32:25 (25 min. long), live codes a poster with two graphic layers and one with text.
Take two is a big improvement. I disabled all optimizations, so it draws the lines in a predictable order removing previous discontinuities. #penplotter#CreativeCoding#axidraw#openrndr
I'm very happy that I figured out how to place the icons in columns (responsive) and the names under the thumbnails. I find aligning things in Swing even harder than in CSS.
I like this #knot :) It took me a minute to figure out if the three curves are entangled or not. And somehow it gives me some kind of pleasure to move the curves in my mind. Weird :) #CreativeCoding#OPENRNDR#Kotlin#geometry#math
Next, I wondered what would happen if instead of giving each iteration the same values I alternate between two values for even and odd iterations. I also added some randomness to all values to make it more organic and added circular gradients to make it less flat. #creativeCoding#computationalDesign#recursive#OPENRNDR#Kotlin
Start with a regular polygon with 5, 4 or 3 sides. Rotate its control points 75 degrees, then repeat: create a new polygon based on the last one with points at t=0.35 between start and end of each segment. Rotate its control points 75 degrees. #CreativeCoding#OPENRNDR#Kotlin#geometry
I got lucky with the angle. I was trying the contour adjuster on a circle and a rectangle, and got a result that surprised me. Pure luck. I like how the rectangle seems to hug the circle :-) #CreativeCoding#OPENRNDR#Kotlin
I just discovered one can follow our channel from Mastodon: @in_conversations_collections I find it cool that ActivityPub services can interact with each other :)
I hope we get back to recording at the end of this month after my first solo code+art exhibition ^_^
Today's experiment turned out rather #dark even if I don't feel so apocalyptic. The code is almost identical to yesterday's, but I replaced the blend mode Add by Xor. How would you describe this? #CreativeCoding#OPENRNDR#Kotlin#gothic#winter
