Create an animated generative art video

Introduction

Let's get this party started
Find your jam. Summon your spirit animal. Get this party started.
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.
Revisit hypeframework.org
Revisit http://hypeframework.org and check some of the animations.
Download HYPE (staging) zip
Download HYPE (staging) zip.

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

It contains many example animations.

You can do it too!

HRotate and Anchor

Download 02_HRotate.zip
Download 02_HRotate.zip. It is a linked attachment to Unit 2, Video 1.

Watch Unit 2, Video 3
Watch Unit 2, Video 3 which runs through files "ex 8" to "ex 10".
Practice nesting
Practice nesting one asset into another.
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.
Practice SVG
Load some of your .SVG files from the previous class in conjunction with a HRotate.

HCanvas

Download 03_HCanvas.zip

Review HCanvas
Review HCanvas, which is an extended PGraphics.

http://www.processing.org/reference/PGraphics.html
Practice HCanvas
Practice using multiple HCanvas as layers and painting certain assets to unique canvases. Think of it like layers in Photoshop or Illustrator.
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.

HFollow

Watch Unit 4, Video 1
Watch Unit 4, Video 1 which runs through files "ex 1" to "ex 6".
Practice .ease() and .spring()
Practice using HFollow, making adjustments to .ease() and .spring() to change how the animation chases your mouse movements.
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

Download 05_Timers.zip
Download 05_Timers.zip. It is a linked attachment to video Unit 5, Video 1.
Watch Unit 5, Video 1
Watch Unit 5, Video 1 which runs through files "HTimer 1" to "HTimer 4".
Watch Unit 5, Video 2
Watch Unit 5, Video 2 which runs through files "HTimer 5" to "HTimer 7".
Practice HTimer
Practice remove .requestAll() and copy and paste an HTimer in some of the previous files we did in the first class which used HDrawablePool.
Reminder HCanvas with HDrawablePool
When using HCanvas with an HDrawablePool... pool.autoAddtoStage() becomes pool.autoParent(HCanvasName)
Watch Unit 5, Video 3
Watch Unit 5, Video 3, which runs through files "HRandomTrigger 1" and "HRandomTrigger 2".
Reminder chance with floats
Chance in HRandomTrigger uses 1f/15, for more information on the float data type... visit http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/datatypes.html or http://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/java_basic_datatypes.htm

Reminder 3D
When using 3D coordinates you need to update processing with the proper renderer, size(640,640,P3D) and also HYPE needs to be informed so it switches to 3D coordinates accordingly .use3D(true) http://www.processing.org/tutorials/p3d and http://www.processing.org/reference/camera_.html
Watch Unit 6, Video 4
Watch Unit 6, Video 4, which runs through files "ex 6" and "ex 7".
