New experiments with movements, curves, lines and perlin noise. Most movements are created using this function (this is pseudo code)

sprite.point1.x += ( -128 + noiseColor.green) / 5;
sprite.point1.y += ( -128 + noiseColor.blue) / 5;

noiseColor is the colorvalue of getPixel() from the perlin noise.

Some curves with gradient fills and 2 different stroke sizes. I found in the Matrix-class a createGradientBox() function, witch actually is a very cool and handy function. The colors are based on photos with cool colors, this gives a nice natural look.

After writing a post of using perlin noise, I’ll did some more experiments making cool things. I draw lines using Perlin noise as input. Check this out:

It took a while to get the right feeling, but I’m very happy with the results. Generated with actionscript, colorized with Photoshop. Orginal render size is 4800×4800 px. It’s full of details!

Sometimes I don’t know what to think of generative art. I don’t know if these images I created could be called (or what ‘they’ called) art, or if they are just some other renders. Sometimes it feels nothing more than lines, colors. Some people who see it really love it, but at some moments I don’t know how to think about it.

But take a look at it, they have so many details (see the big sizes if you have a flickr account). I cannot count the lines, but can have a endless watch to see if there’s a message in it. A secret sign or something else I didn’t coded. How can such useless lines be that interesting? I don’t get it..

I just had an idea for a new generative render, so I started a some simple line tests. I calculated a motion-path. Click to read and see more!

Generated with actionscript 3.0. Just experimenting with some new motion.

There’s more on my Flickr Account.

I’m experimenting with AIR, because I heard saving a ByteArray ( for example encoded PNG or JPG ) should be quite simple. You don’t need PHP or another serverside script for this, just write directly on you disk. Well, just check it out.

I created an example of how to get it work. The image will be save in the same directory as your AIR application.
