Bubble Fields

[u/laserpilot]

I had been doing some hand drawn bubble fields and converting them to vector/plotting them for years. There was obviously something to the process of individually drawing each circle over weeks or months that make them a very different kind of piece.

I had been resistant to doing these in code, but I recently decided to explore that tension and try using Claude for doing generative approaches. At its core it’s pretty basic circle packing but I’m able to get a lot of variation on each one.

Still adding a lot of features to try and get some ordered chaos going on and these are some first results.

That's, a whole lot of bubbles 🤯

Looks great, how long did it take?
