Liquid Journey:FITC Digital Creatures
Presentation about AI, creature simulation with flash at FITC. This describs about algorythm and formula with a plenty of samples. Enough worth to see for both flash and processing users.
In addition, you can download all source file of creatures from the site.
Please welcome the overall new layout of this site! Besides many improved visual and navigational enhancements i also added gooooogle ads. (If there are no on the right side, but just a small arrow, than click some around ’til they appear.)
Right at the moment i loaded the ads the first time and figured out how “silent” this site was before. That little bit of dynamic generated content (almost new content on every click) and that “third column” made the website some “louder”. Imagine some more dynamic stuff like audioscrobbler profile, weather forecast, some rss-feeds, latest comments ect. and you will end up in a crowded noisy place like a crowded noisy place in the real world. I think *some* noise is nothing wrong…

Looks like my subdirectory plan is working!
Playing around with WordPress. Not sure I get it yet. Wet paint!
Great lecture of nature simulation with processing. Includes forces, trigonometry, fractals, cellular automata, self-organization, and genetic algorithms. You must see.
Feliz Sant Jordi!
Kenta Cho is a prototype of an independent game developer that equals to something we call in Germany “Autorenfilm”. This exellent shootergames are 100% selfmade handcrafted and really ROCK! Be sure to check out Torus Trooper, a very fast and addictive 3D-shooter that comes with *ahh, love* abstract grafics, nice electronic soundtrack and great smooth speed and style.
Cho used the ‘D programing language‘ for his games and this really looks interesting. Following the definition at Wikipedia: “D adds modern features like design by contract, unit testing, true modules, automatic memory management (garbage collection), first class arrays, closures (anonymous functions), and a reengineered template syntax.” It has the advantages of C and C++, but is also easier, because it has a ‘garbage collection’ and as far as i can see better GUI handling and other easier methods than C++. Unfortunatelly i am not into C or C++ and there are almost no IDE or tutorials for D yet, but i will keep an eye of it. A good starting point is dsource.org and DedicateD. The ABA games also comes with the d-sources, so there’s another good starting point. If you find more interesting about D, than please leave a line in the comments.
PS: The other good news about programming this week is the official BETA release of Processing V1.0!

I also uploads prototype of worm paiting.
Since I’d heard Lecture by Yugo Nakamur, Amit Pitaru , Tom Rope, and etc… in Japan last year. I’m trying to make a lot of study model, but not just make final one. To my surprise in the lecture is that they make plenty and plenty of study model.
…que ahora las agendas de conciertos de las revistas me sirven para algo. Anoche pude ver en directo a mi venerado Prefuse 73 en la sala Bikini y más tarde a Four Tet en la sala Apolo.
El primer concierto era el más esperado y… Si la alineación prometÃa al principio (un baterÃa, un comodÃn que alternaba entre segundo baterÃa y samplers , bajista, dj, y don scott herren), el sonido poco cuidado y una motivación dudosa (parecÃa que tenÃan prisa por irse al otro concierto) lo dejaron en una hora con unos pocos grandes momentos - For some but not for me, I got no time for Rearviews y alguna más - y otros poco dignos de un músico de su relevancia. Me quedé con ganas de más.
De Four tet esperaba menos. No conozco mucho su discografÃa a pesar de que se mueve en ámbitos sonoros familiares. Empezó con fuerza, alternando generosas dosis de ruidismo con beats impecables y supo mantener la tensión musical durante dos o tres temas. Luego bajó el tono (y el interés) y se quedó entre lo correcto y lo predecible. La expectación de si recuperarÃa el pulso no pudo con el cansancio y no pude verlo terminar.
De la experiencia me quedo con la agradable sensación de que los conciertos de electrónica pueden ser (y por fin están siendo) algo más que un informático mirando abstraido su portátil y con las geniales proyecciones vectoriales (mostraban manipulación de la de ratón sobre los gráficos) de No-Domain sobre el segundo concierto.
Ah, si, es Barcelona.
Processing is finally in beta, with its first public release. O’Reilly Radar has a good piece on what Processing is and what’s special about it….
It is nothing new but I realized that there is no reason that I have to complete my sketches only in the processing. Possibility of pre-processing or post-processing.
This drawing is mainly made with processing, but after I overpainted with fingertool of photoshop.
Processing is tool for imagination not for restriction.
