Just playing around a bit with some basic branching in processing.
Click on the thing to make new branches. Clicking towards the top of the screen makes for straighter branches, towards the bottom for curvy ones. Clicking towards the left makes skinny branches, right makes fat ones.

Some new processing work. click the mouse to change the colors and start new shoots growing. This has a really cool texture if you render it at the high resolution. Here is the source code if anyone is interested.
Here are a few screen grabs from versions that looked cool along the way:
Just discovered this incredible java-based open source flash-like product called processing. Very simple to work with and excellent if you are trying to make art-like output for printing. Lets you render at very large scale and output to very large images.
Here’s a digital take on the 8th painting in the ox herding series.
It looks different every time. Here are some random renderings that I liked:
Here is more of a spherical version:
And here is a hi-res image over here, and a little cut-out to give you a sense for the texture:
The animation on the homepage of the site is something I’ve been working on for the last few months in flash.
It uses sign waves amplified by random noise to simulate the growth pattern of leaves and shoots. I think it looks similar to the way that some ferns unravel and grow. I think it looks really organic. It’s a pleasant surprise when machines do that.
Here’s a smaller version of it. Its completely random and different every time. Here is the source code for the curious.
