Show HN: I made a generator of art – Suprematism
- andronov04 5y agoI love generative art and suprematism. That's why I've created this generator. You can export designs to Figma or Sketch, and also save as jpeg or HD video. Yahooo/Yoohoo
- andrefuchs 5y agoCongrats on the launch! Is the code open source?
- andronov04 5y agoThanks! Soon I'm going public code to github, yeah it'll be open source
- codetrotter 5y agoIs there a difference between the SVGs that are exported for Figma and for Sketch? I am on mobile rn or I’d inspect them myself and see
- hypertele-Xii 5y agoLooks like a bunch of shapes randomly scattered on canvas. Nothing "generative" about that. Procedural content uses rules to produce patterns; This doesn't.
- fsloth 5y agoAccording to Wikipedia the main organizing principle in suprematism is feeling, not rules. I don't know how much feeling you can get from rand(), though.
- TaupeRanger 5y agoPerhaps you just aren't thinking hard enough about the rules and patterns of this system. It's absolutely generative. There are pieces, and there are rules. Which shapes show up? How many? How fast do they rotate? How long? What size is the canvas? What color? This is just off the top of my head.
- Applejinx 5y agoI don't get a 'why' in any of that, though. It's generative, but there seems to be no purpose anywhere in it.
- colecut 5y agoArt does not require purpose
- hypertele-Xii 5y agoArt requires intent.
- colecut 5y agoI'm not sure that is true. Maybe you desire intent in your art.
- julian_t 5y agoA common definition (he says, being married to an artist) is that you intend what you do to be taken as art. If the artist says it’s art, then it’s art.
- colecut 5y agoCan you intend it after the fact? If made a toaster, and it didn't work, can I call it art now? It probably depends on how much art I have already sold..
- Applejinx 5y agoI don't see any patterns or rules either. Is there any metric here by which you could judge one of the results as better than the others?
- hypertele-Xii 5y agoSome of them by chance vaguely resemble something, which could be mildly interesting. If an artist explored these permutations and selected some, they could be construed as art through intent.
- lindseymysse 5y agoThis looks great! I was in Hamburg and saw a show of Robert Longo, Goya and Eisenstein drawings. I was really fascinated to learn that Eisenstein drew a lot like Malevich. But you can see that sort of diagramatic thinking in both his movies and in the Suprematists around him. This is a really interesting project, thanks for showing it to us!
- QuadrupleA 5y agoIf you're impressed by this I recommend browsing https://shadertoy.com https://shadertoy.com - some amazing generative art there. Shane is one of the masters: https://www.shadertoy.com/user/Shane https://www.shadertoy.com/user/Shane And of course Inigo Quilez, the site's creator: https://www.shadertoy.com/user/iq https://www.shadertoy.com/user/iq
- 101008 5y agoWow, I didn't know this website and it looks great. I've been browsing Shane's creations and they are mind-blowing. May I ask a stupid question? Leaving aside copyrights/licenses/etc, are her creations "exportable" to be used in videogames, films CGI, VFX, etc? For example, this Abstract Corridor (https://www.shadertoy.com/view/MlXSWX https://www.shadertoy.com/view/MlXSWX), could be used in a videogame just with that piece of code (I think it's C or a variant of it). It's incredible for me that such piece of art is done only by code - if asked, I would have said that it uses assets and more.
- friend-monoid 5y agoIts GLSL, and yes, you can pretty much copy paste it.
- vort3 5y agoAlso, UJI: https://doersino.github.io/uji/ https://doersino.github.io/uji/
- jtvjan 5y agoReminded me of Deko[1]. Used it a lot when I had an iPhone. [1] https://apps.apple.com/us/app/deko-beautiful-wallpapers/id582647344 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/deko-beautiful-wallpapers/id58...
- soheil 5y agoIf you search for those images on Yandex it's very interesting how many similar images there are [0]. It's as if a lot of people find triangles, squares, line, ... in different colors with high artistic worth. These also remind me of a type of art which name I cannot recall that I saw in a museum once.

- tartoran 5y agoIm missing something, i get 3,4 random shapes.
- throwawaygo 5y agoThey appear to stop when one intersects the center of another or they all pass the point of being able the intersect the center of another. Neat idea.
- tonetheman 5y agoNow just somehow generate an NFT for each one of them. Endless money from the crypto fan boys...
