This time, fully generated with code.


And here is a video of the code generated animation, as it is now.

More Geometric Patterns

Continuing with my exploration of simple geometries to create patterns, I'm going more angular here. First, I sketch up a pattern, and then I start coding it.

bars,
Playing around with the pattern. No code, yet.

barsExp,
Early exploration of coding up this pattern. So far, so good.

visualDebugging

Working on something, I needed to quickly see if my code was behaving as expected. Of course, it wasn't easy to see...so I gave myself a bold visual debug output: RED. Surprisingly, I really like the aesthetics of it. Who knew debugging could be so visually striking?

pattern1

Textiles and tiles are endlessly fascinating to me, and to relax my brain and recover some of my creative energy, I've been playing with circles to create patterns. No code here, just drawing circles. Will I code some of this? Maybe. But old methods are often highly rewarding.

I started with some repeating patterns, and then experimented with spiral patterns. Creating, filling, and erasing arcs.
