Linear interpolation (sometimes called lerp or mix) is a really handy function for creative coding, game development, data visualization and generative art. The function interpolates within the range [start..end] based on a t parameter, whe…
— Try the experience in your browser at https://tendril.ca/ I recently launched a small and interactive web toy for the Toronto-based Design + Animation Studio, Tendril. You can try it out on their home page. Their site rotates through diff…
— This post is a continuation of Pen Plotter Art & Algorithms, Part 1. — Patchwork, printed with AxiDraw, December 2017 In our previous post, we learned to develop some basic prints with penplot, an experimental tool I’m building for my own…
— You can find the source code for this blog series here. Over the last several months, I’ve been looking for ways to produce physical outputs from my generative code. I’m interested in the idea of developing real, tangible objects that are…
This post explores a technique to render volumetric curves on the GPU — ideal for shapes like ribbons, tubes and rope. The curves are defined by a parametric equation in the vertex shader, allowing us to animate hundreds and even thousands
Audiograph is a small project I built in my free time over a two-week period in April. It’s a music visualizer for the 2016 album TRANS by Pilotpriest, rendering in real-time with WebGL and WebAudio. In this post I’ll explain the process an…
This post explores a small weekend project that combines Node.js and HTML5 Canvas to create high-resolution generative artwork. In the browser, the artwork renders in real-time. Tap the canvas below to randomize the seed. Click here to open…
This post introduces a novel approach to developing, debugging, and profiling Node.js applications within Chrome DevTools. Recently I’ve been working on a command-line tool, devtool, which runs Node.js programs inside Chrome DevTools. The r…
This year I decided to try #codevember, a challenge to write a creative experiment for every day of November. This post is a follow-up (and brain-dump) exploring some of the daily demos and lessons learned. You can see all the experiments h…
It’s been a while since a blog post, so here’s a look at some small sketches I’ve developed in the last six months. Most of them use WebGL and/or WebAudio, and are intended to be viewed on desktop Chrome or FireFox. Not all work on mobile.
