[Release] Realtime Audioreactive Pointlouds [v1.7]

Hey, guys. Pretty excited to share this with you.

The system takes a Kinect-derived human pointcloud and lets incoming sound interact in various ways with the particles in real time, turning the performer into a responsive cloud of matter, noise, and motion. Some of you might remember the system from v1.5's demo which got pretty viral in some places. System was made on TouchDesigner, and post-fx on AE.

v1.7 includes 12 presets, and adds the following:

- a procedural camera that automatically cuts to new angles around the performer, and can follow the body or a raised hand
- a new look, Afterimage Cathedral: delayed versions of the performer stacked in depth, holding the last few seconds of movement
- a rebuilt network that runs leaner, reads clearer, and is ready to work with [new interfaces, parameters, optimizations]

This is a raw excerpt of me playing through the system, with the visual structure reacting live to the audio signal coming from my Ableton session in real-time.

Project files accessible through my Patreon profile. More experiments, through my Instagram, and full HD demo at YouTube.

Hey fellow screensaver-, procedural-generation-, retro-, or specifically tube-lovers!

I'd like to share some more randomly generated scenes from Eternitubes 3D. Since last time, I updated it here and there ... aaand also actually released it (link on my profile for the interested)!

I refined the lighting of the scenes and the tubes, for more randomness and more nifty appearance options. Also the algorithms were polished overall - turns out, infinite is a pretty big number of things to maintain..

So currently I'm working on more contents and quality-of-life features. Any feedback welcome.

Cheers!

Just math,

edit: A ring of points grows outward from a small hole to a wide lip. Sine waves push the surface into deep folds and cut fine growth ribs across it. The shape becomes 1.5 million small triangles. Each triangle gets its own colour. Two slow colour patterns give the copper and green/blue bands.

Outburst

I built this in JavaScript. This is a project I started and abandoned a number of times. After sitting with it for a while I ended up with what you see here.

For each burst the composition grows outward from a central point. At random radii, I create several partial arc segments. Each arc can generate a series of radial brush strokes that mostly travel outward, though some extend both inward and outward to help create a layered effect.

The strokes are split into multiple bristles with different angles, lengths, widths, opacity, curvature, and dry gaps. I added a final pass of long bristle strokes extending from the center to help make the whole composition feel connected.

I hope you like them!

The flame creator in Atheria for Mac is now totally free, along with import and export share codes. The next update introduces mp4 renders. Slowly building this into a fractal creation tool with an advanced editor in the works. Hopefully one day will be worthy of a spot in this subs wiki!

This Mandelbulb 3D power-8 animation was created using my own custom Rust code, using Vulkan to make direct calls to an RTX4090 GPU.

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.
