June 18th, 2008Inter-App Video: A Mac GPU Hack, More Ideas?
June 18th, 2008
CDMotion contributor vade sends word of some experiments he’s been doing with inter-application video sharing. The basic idea: start with live imagery in one place (like a Processing sketch, for instance), and feed those visuals into another app for adding effects, mixing, and output (like VDMX). Naturally, you’d want to do this without a performance tax.
vade’s solution – Mac-only – uses live visual capture to send the output of one tool to another, all on the GPU. Performance looks great, but the big problem is that the window has to stay in the front. Still, I can already imagine uses for this.

That’s just one approach, though. Could we eventually even have a full-blown inter-application visual routing solution, one that might work between apps, platforms, or computers? I can imagine a few approaches that might work, though performance is always the challenge.

blood rush
June 18th, 2008 Update form my previous movie. improved the camera movement and added a new elastic force so that all “boids” dont disperse too much and i end up with an almost blank image. Also added some particles. and changed the look to somehing i like a lot more 
Made in c++ using the amazing openframeworks library. adapted some code from a Robert Hodgin source which can be found here: www.flight404.com/blog/?p=113

eco system
June 18th, 2008This is a preview of a sketch where th boids have a stumic. they need to feed on the plants when their stumics run empty. the plants also need the boids to eat them to grow faster, but if the plant is damaged to much they die. no sound yet.

Nokia / Friends / Heathrow Terminal 5
June 18th, 2008A procession of diverse characters glide by on a travelator – friends, families, kids, lovers, rugby teams, fat couples, thin models – celebrating the diversity of people seen at Heathrow T5. Every character riding the travelator is unique, using generative software to create an ever-growing population.
Hyphema
June 18th, 2008Hyphema is a collaborative effort between sound artist Jerome Faria and programmer Victor Martins. The purpose is to document some of their experiments in audiovisual compositions. The project is presented in two formats: a live performance and a DVD. hyphema.pixelnerve.com

LEDS are fun
June 17th, 2008Fun with Peggy from 2Roqs on Vimeo.
Peggy is a fun programmable LEDs display board brought by Evil Mad Sciencist Laboratories.
We@2Roqs grabbed one last week and here we go : each time we have a new matrix display like that in our hands, we can’t help but code some pixel-based animations. This time I adapted some code Michaël had written back in 2001 in Javascript for rendering a rotating wired cube (yes, Javascript cube with no canvas)
Note that the hidden faces on the cube are managed, backfaces’edges are drawn grey-shaded using a special technique of multi-framing on Peggy board.
The music was taken from an Atari ST demo (not sure about the demo screen, may be Syntax Terror reset screen) and was written by Jochen “Mad Max” Hippel.

June 17th, 2008Cubic Control
June 17th, 2008An experiment in control systems, the Cubic Control let’s you re-discover your photo collection. In the demo we have hooked up the Cube to our photo library, so each photo has it’s own combination bringing up some old favourites and some we’d completely forgotten about. Apply this to your music selection and you’ll get a similar experience.

Solar 1
June 17th, 2008Model of our solar system. All to scale. Can speed up or slow down time. Fly camera around. Super Deform planet sizes. models orbital periods for planets and moons, orbital inclination, axis tilt, planet and moon sizes, mean orbit distance. Currently uses OCD but I am working out quaternion camera to replace it so I can get rid of the gimbal lock. made with processing
