#Genuary4

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Submitted my tax return! So here's a quick Genuary sketch to celebrate. This is today (isometric) plus a catch-up on day 4 (black-on-black) and day 2 (layers).

It's thousands of partially transparent, shiny black cubes drawn (or not) according to a 4D noise function, in an isometric projection and surrounded by 10 rotating point lights in different colours that produce the specular reflections.

#Genuary4 prompt:
Black On Black
openprocessing.org/sketch/2500

I didn't really want to do something too dark, and I recalled how crows are pure black but have some iridescence in their feathers. Then a photographer I follow, @studiochris serendipitously posted a great photo of a crow (sfba.social/@studiochris/11377), so I had to try making a generative system from it. It's still pretty abstracted, but it has some fun details.

#genuary4 : Black on Black

I need to fix my line end-caps. I usually intend to plot the drawings created with this setup and haven't bothered to fix them.

I want to plot them after I'm done with #GENUARY but I am also starting to work with colors more than before 😅

The prompt for Genuary 2025 Day4 is “ #BlackOnBlack” and Day 10 is “#Tau
TauInDark uses a mixture of #Hydravideosynth and #LiveCodeLab to the Black on Black component while the coded SonicPi composition uses Tau to arrange the sounds

The motions repeat
As the Grid may be
Incomplete
But the motions sweep
As the pixels are seen

"Black on black"

It took me a while to come up with a different meaning for the prompt. I find it interesting how any ideas I came up with someone else had already done.

So in the end, I recycled this sketch and dressed the main characters for the occasion 🙂

The code is a bit longer than planned because I added noise to the gradient so the video looks less terrible.
