Just to cap things up for the semester, I would like to reflect on what I accomplished. The good – I think I gave a solid performance with respect to finalizing the Processing project I …
Entry 8 – Trailing Agents against attractors and repellents
For the second composition, I had to do quite a lot of thinking. Rather than having agents respond to steering forces from other agents, I wanted to give them the ability to react to their …
Entry 7 – Creating my first Flock composition
Having learned the theoretical background behind flock algorithms in processing, it is time to compose a sketch. My idea for this sketch was to introduce a little variation from the typical flock algorithm. I wanted …
Entry 6 Agents Theoretical Framework
How do we code Agents? Before we begin building autonomous agents, we must understand what an agent can and cannot do: An agent has a limited ability to perceive the environment: An agent must have …
Entry 5 – Back to Autonomous Agents
Before anything I conjured up abt what I wanted this project to be, there was one idea. The idea of generating code that could create beautiful organic visual compositions using agents that eventually could become …
Entry 4 – Unreal here we go.
Things are starting to take off. My goals for the remaining weeks are as follows: to prepare a real-time visualization in Unreal of part of Regent Street neighborhood in relation to the site of my …
Week 3 – Stripes and Ridges
Week 3 is here and I completed both a Processing sketch and 3D Model. I completed the following Lynda.com tutorial on Photoshop: Photoshop CC Essential Training For the Processing sketch, I wanted to continue using …
Week 2 Modular Building
This week I started by getting re-acquainted with 3DS MAX and Photoshop. I watched the following two video tutorials form Lynda.com. Photoshop CC 2015 One-on-One Fundamentals 3ds MAX 2017 Essential Training I had already used …
3D Capture – Semester Wrap Up
Our project on 3D motion capture was certainly a learning experience. Although we have yet to make models of phenomena over time, we have certainly improved on our skills in data collection (photographic techniques), post-processing, …
Week 1 Modular Composition
I am back. It’s been a few months since I last coded in Processing and this represents a new opportunity for me to delve right back into particle systems. This semester, however, I would like …
