Gen Art

Farcaster channel for sharing and discussing anything generative made using code, but especially art.

Farcaster Generative Art Channel

WIP 12.04.24
Part of my work process is exporting outputs and sketching over issues to solve incrementally. This is by far my most complex project to date. Outputs are over 12000 x 9000px. Every room in every building will be furnished and inhabited. Pure p5.js. No external libraries, no vectors, no release date yet.

I like the ambition, and I don’t doubt the execution.

But what do you mean with “no vectors”? I use vectors for all sorts of creative things, not just geometry but also for data structure tricks etc.

Thanks for the tip! By ‘no vectors’ I mean, everything is drawn with p5.js code and not with predefined SVGs or pre-drawn vector paths etc. This way I feel the entire output and its elements remain unique and fully generative, but it’s more of a personal challenge / choice thing 😂

Ah yes THOSE vectors are definitely in use, since I am not using an actual 3D engine or three.js, I have to simulate depth using vanishing points and intersections which definitely need *those* kind of vectors to work ! 😂

Ahaaa, I get it, vectors as in “vector graphics”. My first thought is vectors as in linear algebra 😁

But do you use vectors in p5, like createVector() function etc.? I find it impossible to implement almost any computational geometry without them.
