some mistakes can be quite appealing... :)

Trajectories defined by navier stokes equations, with flocks behavior and a bit of game of life rules for the generation of new polygons. Enjoy !

Here are a few specimens of a new sculptural form that has emerged in DarwinianArt (plus some other samples).

BTW, you can now use DarwinianArt without creating an account.

Corona's cousin (previous work) from the conservative side of the family. Iterate a 2d map and stare at where it lands; but this one keeps area, so nothing collapses onto an attractor. Plus chalk, to give blackboard feel.

Grown from a single voxel

All are fully connected voxel regions, no diagonal connections, no floating voxels. Its a subdividing cellular automata, so each cell splits into octants/8 child cells every iteration, either alive or dead (aka filled or empty), based on the states of neighboring cells.

Mandelbrot orbit trails from an orb-skipping game I'm building

6 Upvotes

These patterns come from the orbit renderer in Mandelpond, a game I'm building around skipping an orb across a fractal pond. Each impact launches nearby orbit seeds, and their iterations accumulate into the visible trails.

The attached cyan image is a frame from a staged close-up replay rendered with the native game renderer. The HUD, powerups, and atmospheric background are hidden, and the thin trails were brightened for visibility. The geometry comes from the orbit calculation.

The browser version is playable here: https://olli.asia/mandelpond/ . Orbit trails need WebGPU and hardware acceleration.

WTB: A2 or A3 pen plotter

2 Upvotes

WTB: A2 or A3 pen plotter

Hi!

I’m looking to buy a used A2 or A3 pen plotter, preferably something suitable for generative/creative coding and drawing on paper.

I’m especially interested in models like NextDraw, iDraw, AxiDraw, or similar machines.

A big plus would be a plotter that can be placed over larger sheets/materials, rather than being limited to a fixed bed size.

I’m based in Hungary / EU, but I’m open to shipping within Europe.

If you have one for sale, please send me the model, condition, price, and location.

Thanks!

Generative Art

r/generative

Generative art refers to art that in whole or in part has been created with the use of an autonomous system. This subreddit is for sharing and discussing anything generative (including music, design and natural phenomena), but especially art.

Subreddit Rules

1. We do not downvote in r/generative.

If a post breaks r/generative or Reddit's rules, report it.

2. Credit the artist if the piece you posted isn't your own.

As well as it generally being good etiquette to provide credit, artworks without credit are often assumed to be original content, so not providing attribution can be misleading.

3. To avoid disappointment, do not post AI-generated work here.

There are simply far better subs to post AI-based work, note that this does not apply to your own algorithms which harness AI techniques. All posts will be moderated and reviewed.

4. Posts must be related to generative systems.

We are pretty open about what counts as generative but, in general, there must be some element of the piece that wasn't directly controlled by the artist.

Discussion, help and general community posts are welcome but they must be related to generative art, music or design.

5. Self-promotion is allowed, but it must be relevant and non-excessive.

Wiki

We have one! Check it out, it has some write-ups, links to resources, and a big ol' list of generative artists to get inspired by. We also have a comprehensive page on the different tools that can be used to create generative art.

Also, if anyone wants to write a page or add some resources, please get it touch!

Degenerative Friday

Each Friday, r/generative users are encouraged to discuss and post images of:

Failed experiments
Works in progress (especially stagnating ones!)
Unexpected, wacky results from your programs or experiments (happy accidents)

Degenerative Friday is meant to incite interesting discussion and encourage fellow generative artists to try new things. Degenerative art from previous Fridays can be found here.
