Creative Coding Practice

A collection of sketches from my creative coding practice in openFrameworks. A repository with all relevant documentation can be found here. Each folder contains pictures, a video sample and source code for building the sketches in OpenFrameworks v0.10.0

Transformations — Experimenting with 2D transformation formulas (rotation and Shearing) to manipulate the original image. Simple interactions are based on the position of the mouse.

Using OpenFrameworks glm::vec class to model location, velocity and acceleration of simple balls. The balls have a random acceleration value and follow the direction of the mouse.

Circular Triangles — Triangles following a circular pattern, with radius defined by mouse position. Sketch taken and modified from the oFBook

Simulating forces using the glm::vec class in OpenFrameworks. Forces applied to the objects include an upward gravity, a downward repulsion force and wind coming from the east with magnitude determined by noise. The mass of each object is represented by the radius of each circle drawn.

Creating a square vortex with mouse interactions changing the color and amount of rotated squares being produced. Sketch taken and modified from the oFBook. Music in video: "Borrowed Peace" by Peter Sandberg.

Experimenting with ofPixels and generating an array of circles that fill the screen to reveal a loaded image. The circle's directions are driven by oF's noise method.

Creating an array of pixels layered on top of an image and changing the size and number of them with the GUI.

Taking video input via webcam and translating the color information of the pixels by mapping it onto a magnitude of distortion for horizontal lines.

Using random and noise functions for decision making of line directions. Decision making by random function.
