News from the generative art front
As you may or may not know… I’m working on a generative art engine for some time now. I’m programming this in Flex/AIR. I now have a tool that allows me to attach different brushes to the mouse. Each of those brushes is drawn onto a seperate layer, and I can set the blendmode and effects for each layer. The result is some amazing artwork.
One of the problems I encountered was that Flash wasn’t able to export images bigger then 2048×2048. That really isn’t much if you want to create big prints. So, recently I wrote a class that allows me to render to bitmaps of any size I like. I’ll post the code for this on this blog in a couple of days.
Anyway, here’s one of the first high resolution outputs (6 megapixel image, still not super high res):
New blog!
I finally found some time to set up a new blog. I wasn’t using Word Press, and the previous blog was just too much work to maintain. Especially because of all the spam I had to cleanup. The past few months I’ve been working hard renovating my new house… so I didn’t find any time to set up a Word Press blog.
Anyway, I plan to start blogging again, so check back soon for updates about my work & life.
