Just read an interesting article [1] and watched a talk [2] about making digital drawings/sketches/visualizations dynamic and reactive, more or less by directly interacting with them on the virtual canvas rather than writing code.

I am a bit amazed and especially impressed by the software presented in the talk [3]. It lets one procedurally build (probably) any imaginable vector visualization by drawing shapes and hooking them and their properties up to input data or other shapes.

i was thinking about #proceduralTextures again… my understanding is that techniques like perlin noise are computalionally expensive enough that they are tend to use pre-rendered noise textures instead. but it there should be a ton of smol functions that should be faster to calculate than a texture lookup?

i'm thinking something similat to what @bitartbot does… they look very paralellizable

you're probably wondering: what if #chaosGame, but instead of jumping half-way to the randomly chosen point, you go all the way and then some? (lerp factor 1.5)

instead of a Sierpinski triangle you get another, branchy #fractal. pretty cool! :)

#proceduralGraphics

ooh, apparently you can simulate the patterns of Chladni Plates by this fairly simple formula:

(a · sin (π · x · n) · sin (π · y · m)) + (b · sin (π · x · m) · sin (π · y · n))

x and y being the position on the screen/plate.
