Programming Graphics II: Generative Art Animation

Create an animated generative art video

Introduction

1. Let's get this party started

   Find your jam. Summon your spirit animal. Get this party started.

   

2. First class pre-requisite

   This class REQUIRES my first class as a prerequisite / http://skl.sh/1l5cT6n as it outlines how to use the HYPE Framework for Processing using the Sublime Text 2 setup.

3. Revisit hypeframework.org

   Revisit http://hypeframework.org and check some of the animations.

4. Download HYPE (staging) zip

   Download HYPE (staging) zip.

   https://github.com/hype/HYPE_Processing/tree/staging

   It contains many example animations.

5. Visit http://praystation.tumblr.com

   Visit http://praystation.tumblr.com. This is my personal project that uses most of the classes that are being taught in this class.

6. Check out this video

5. Watch Unit 2, Video 3

   Watch Unit 2, Video 3 which runs through files "ex 8" to "ex 10".

6. Practice nesting

   Practice nesting one asset into another.

7. Practice autoClear

   Practice .autoClear(false); and .autoClear(true); which either clears or does NOT clear the stage before updating the animation of the assets on screen.

8. Practice SVG

   Load some of your .SVG files from the previous class in conjunction with a HRotate.

HCanvas

1. Download 03_HCanvas.zip

   Download 03_HCanvas.zip. It is linked as an attachment to Unit 3, Video 1.

4. Review HCanvas

   Review HCanvas, which is an extended PGraphics.

   http://www.processing.org/reference/PGraphics.html

5. Practice HCanvas

   Practice using multiple HCanvas as layers and painting certain assets to unique canvases. Think of it like layers in Photoshop or Illustrator.

6. Practice .fade()

   Practice using .autoClear(false); and .fade(2); on an HCanvas to burn the trails to 0 alpha. Smaller number = slower burn... larger number = faster burn.

   Practice using HFollow, making adjustments to .ease() and .spring() to change how the animation chases your mouse movements.

4. Practice "ex 5"

   Make some modifications of "ex 5" by changing the photo it samples the color from... try using a portrait!

HTimer and HRandomTrigger
