So.... a script to headlessly render a p5js sketch?
- pineconewarrior 5y agoAnd publish, and a setup to host them. good observation?
- ghostly_s 5y agoI mean, dozens of generative artists have set up this exact workflow, and anyway the blog post doesn't give any useful detail on how it was done. So I'll second puzzlement at what the point of this write-up was (self promotion?).
- pineconewarrior 5y agoAgreed on all counts. I think we are all bored.
- rikroots 5y agoA write-up of the processes/algorithms being used to generate the images would add more excitement to the article. Is the author running P5.js in a script serverside and using a headless browser (PhantomJS or equivalent) to generate the images? What technical problems did they encounter and how were they overcome? As to the art, I'm guessing it's a form of Perlin noise plus particles setup that is currently quite popular on /r/generative - an interesting thing of itself[1], but I'd hope to see the algorithms adapt or evolve as the weeks and months pass by. For the website presentation, maybe something animated? Interactive even? Make it responsive and embeddable and it could be shared by fans on their sites? There's lots of ways this project could be developed. [1] - I've even done one of these things myself, on CodePen: https://codepen.io/kaliedarik/pen/JjRydpo https://codepen.io/kaliedarik/pen/JjRydpo

- rikroots 5y agoThanks for the suggestion! Currently I'm looking at this site[1], though some of the words and phrases sound a bit made up to me. The animations are really cool! [1] - Self-organising textures - https://distill.pub/selforg/2021/textures/ https://distill.pub/selforg/2021/textures/
