While working on the physics engine mentioned in my last post I needed a visualization of the path they moved on to verify that the collision works right.

And this is a moment of such a path visualization.
I also thought about an interesting image by using some blur on the path or the whole image, or making the path more broken and interesting.

Thank you for following and liking my work. And a welcome to the new followers of the last days.

After working with many different game and physics engines I decided to work on my own physics engine and maybe extend it later for games.

During experiments and debugging, I get interesting forms and patterns, that I want to share.

Here you see circles with the connection to the closest point on the wall/line in the middle.
And I really like this pattern reminding me of a mindmap-like construct.

Did you work on something and the result was totally different or for another purpose?

For this creation I worked on a brush-like dot that I used for the rows.

For me it looks a little retro and like a carpet. But overall I just decided to share it here.

This and the next renders will have some colors because it's spring and the sun is shining, so I am influenced by the beautiful colors around me.

Back to generative art I created a line grid looking like a street map. I tried curves but I wanted to stick to a contrast to the other smooth creations.

For inspiration of what to try I often look into nature with these awesome structures. Plants, water forming sand but also the macro view of landscapes, mountains and clouds.

What is your favorite source of forms?

Here's a hair like structure made with a vector-flow-field added variables for example for the transparency and a circular constraint.

In the last Genuary I made this looking more like fur and I wanted to come back to it.
Also, my hair looks a little like this. ;)

In the last days I think of combining these artistic structures with a game. So maybe a character running with such a flow field behind him or transitions made with the dithering I made some time ago.

Would you play and look into such a game?

The last post is the minimalistic creation of the same code of this one.

Here I overstretched every variable but for me it is special because it shows the similarity of circle and star and waves.

What do you see? Star, circle or space?

Now the music is in its flow, so I have time to come back to drawing and generative arts.

Today, I picked sine and cosine and combined them with some alpha values. I have many results and I will post some others of this session, too.

But here's a circle with a sine wave as the radius and this looped while changing radius and phase.

It's all coded by myself. I used mathematical functions to create this piece of art. And no AI.

2026 Genuary Wrap

This was my first time participating in Genuary. Here are some reflections about the experience.

Scheduled Work Means Work Gets Done

My long-standing journal practice has taught me about the out-sized power of small, incremental work completed on a schedule. And the Genuary work provided similar benefits. The main benefit, of course, is simply finishing thi

Very late #genuary30: Its not a bug, its a feature.

This "flower" pattern happened by accident when I was tuning the red circle positioning in my P2 Penrose tiling implementation in GLSL (the blue ones are correct) 🙂
