I Heart Processing
Thanks for your views and comments:
– I'm honored that this piece was used in a Create Digital Motion article announcing Processing's move from Beta to the official Processing
1.0!

A Processing experiment that draws 4 bezier curves, interpolates each one, and sends a bunch of particles off along the curves, using Perlin noise to control their paths.

how could you get the coordinates along the curve?
very interested to know =]

Amazing!

Thanks for the comments!
@mb09 - the heart is made up of for 4 individual bezier curves, when drawing each one, I use processing's built-in bezierPoint() to determine points along the curve...

very nice :]
this is a very useful function that i didnt discover
and your app shows a great use of it!

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Algorithmic Abstracts, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

@airvent-media - Thanks! Speaking of which, I have something in the works that uses a snowflake and some stars - perhaps I'll try and incorporate this technique into the piece.

Amazing in simplicity. Is there a keyframe option in the processing program where you could export the actual creation of the final product in an animation?
Ashley James Brown (54 months ago | reply)
if u did a snowflake piece i may have to commission you for something for a logo - i produce under the name 'acrtic sunrise' - ill pm/ mail u if poss.

I found a similar looking object in the shower drain.....
hahaha just kidding dude!
this is insanely great!
nikrowell (54 months ago | reply)
Too funny! ... a couple other people had pointed that out - and I didn't notice until then - too busy analyzing it right-side-up ;)

I think this is amazing and am considering getting it (or something very similar) tattooed on my back.

NICE!!
I went to processing course this week...
how can I "import bezier courves" to processing...?
and... can I import processing files on flash!?
THANKS!!
nikrowell (52 months ago | reply)
@ser -
Thanks!. The bezier functions are actually all built-in to Processing - check out the documentation here.
As far is getting Processing into flash, I can think of 2 options - porting your Processing code to ActionScript or creating a video of your Processing sketch, converting it to an FLV and importing that into flash...

thanks for the information...
I'll see what is the better form for export video of my processing files...
one more question... you've got a video of this pic!?
nikrowell (52 months ago | reply)
I don't have a video of this one ... it renders pretty quickly....

Excellent work. Are you willing to release the source?
nikrowell (36 months ago | reply)
Sure thing Erik - I'll PM you a link.
Thanks for the comments.

this is perhaps the most beautiful piece made in processing. I'd also like to take a peek at the source code if you don't mind. brilliant!

Magnificent.... I saw some videos an images made with processing and I was amazed. I started the learning process the next moment ;)

great stuff.
nevolution (26 months ago | reply)
Any chance this is up on openprocessing? Or to get a copy of the source code? Itching to have a play

poderia fornecer o código(could provide the code)
