I found a paper on the internet speaking about fur-rendering, so i wanted to give it a try. I believe the writer released his work at ATI/AMD. Works pretty well. Next step is adding forces to improve the fur animation (it already animates if you look closely).

A test to make jellyfish forms made of billboarding texture blending and sine ribbons. camera follows a random picked fish. I shall work on this one since the movement isnt that much complex even it its just a representation of reality and not a real simulation. Also the camera motion should be fixed. This is just a zero-version, there should be a much better version later.. someday.

This became a visual for a sequencer idea i had. i was playing with Tactu5 and ended up creating ribbons and doing some synth and this is a first acceptable result.. for now=)

I was playing with a sequencer called Tactu5 and i ended up creating a visual effect to see the how midi notes and Minim synth worked together. I’ve also added some LFO’s to modulate the waves, but thats a different story. This is a screenie of what i came up with.

A minimal look with a centered alien ball that grows tentacles as notes play and based on their frequency. the up-growing are based on a pinknoise. Well it’s still just an idea but it might turn into something good.

We shall wait and see.

An effect that made a video that made a little demo.
To the one [special] in my life.

the music track is Parks from Four Tet.
programming was made by myself.

it was made using processing and it does run in realtime too. for those who enjoy executables, here you go:

Windows realtime version.
Macintosh realtime version.

Me and S* wanted to try something different to participate in a contest about sound generation, so this is what we came up with, [We.are.in.Helsinki].

The idea was to produce soundscapes & ambiances using wave generators and sampled toy sounds. Its engine works by using magnectic fields, attraction & repulsive force fields that we call “activator” & “holders”, it creates sounds when this two forces react to eachother. Activator as the names says activates the sound of each of the “holders”. Its a pretty simple idea but works pretty well in our opinion.

[We.are.in.Helsinki] was created for Phonurgia 2008. Its a sound creation contest from France. Be sure to check it out.

Download:
Windows version.
Macintosh version.

Keys:

A/Q - Add/Remove attraction sound fields
R - Resets the system
ESC - Quit application
Click and hold left mouse button on the “activator” to move. Interact as you like and create your own “attractiv” ambiances.

EDIT:

There is a new version that allows you to move everything on the screen, generators, samplers & activator. you can change frequencies for each generator aswell and also the range of activation. It will be presented this december.

A gift to someone special to me.

Hope it helps

Anyway, i release the source code for the animated sprite system and render here. It allows you to load one image for static sprites or animated. Each animated sprite can have more than one animation, aslong as animations have the same number of frames. A sprite manager is included to handle every sprite’s rendering and updating.

Download here.

This is a simple sprite handler and needs some more work. Meanwhile i thought i would release it, maybe it might come useful to someone.

These are part of my processing graphics renderer. I plan on releasing it sometime this year. Its a limited port of my graphics engine codename Chaos. But that is another story for another time. Enjoy!
