LAB#3015 Skybase

Thanks! And heres some more.

Always cool stuff Skybase ...One other note for animating without controls...One might be able to modify the FF clock script sample to animate...

Hi Everyone,

Some very cool rockin clockin art!

Have a great weekend,
Ron

This is more of my personal interest than anything.

If you stare at the center long enough, you feel the urge to buy Filter Forge 6

I felt a bit like Kandinsky

WOW!! This is very good, cool, beautiful, original and well done, great idea, very artistic and creative

Are the shapes fix and still, I mean already configured in FF or are generated randomly?
And they have random size generated?

With this you gave me more inspiration and ideas, thanks

Yes, I agree, color is the main theme of both pictures.
Even the shapes were a bit different ( for example, squares or hexagons instead of lines ), it would be still well balanced.
Nice work.
Will you post a filter to make these pictures?

Simple loops can do a lot!

Oh yea...

Yeah the shapes that's being fed into the bomber are fixed, what changes is the colors. This was done with the bomber plus but it can easily be accomplished with the regular bomber as well!

Make sure you look for #filterforge!

Magic!!! A lot of magic!!!

Yeh, I think it's honestly a bit hard for me to share this since if I do, then you guys be able to produce exactly what I'd be making. In some ways, it's like a real magic trick. Once you learn the trick and how it works, the magic kinda fades since in most cases, magic is simple. Likewise these filters I'm making are honestly REALLY REALLY simple, it's just I'm employing some very base-level design ideas that work.

For the most part when you can get good designs, no matter how simple a system, it can look great. I've been exploring color and their relation to shape, and I've been kinda trying to perfect a system that tries to choose "nice color schemes" which I recently discovered a way while exploring a possible successor to RGBLand.

A designer friendly color scheme can really change the looks of stuff. It can make stuff look really good even if the thing is simple. Good design doesn't always have to be complex. Good design is honest, clear, concise, and lasts.

So if you're wondering, I say head on over in FilterForge and wonder even more

good quote!

The colors are chosen using my color engine.

Pretty Cool.. Love the look of those...

A lot of cool stuff you've been working on Skybase

Very basic bomber plus layering.

So I recently designed a little pattern generator that randomly created these little LED dot matrices. Then I decided I wanted to animate them. As a premise this is what a single matrix would look like when animated.

I then took it a bit further. Betis said you could loop it by using seamless tiling and behold, it works. Now with colors changing as well. This was all made using FilterForge 6. No additional software other than a batch renderer. There are no keyframes other than a master slider that controls the time variable. Funny thing FilterForge has 0 animation functionality. heh.

Extending on the idea of LEDs since these were just made with a bomber, there are some perks like being able to scale the dots up and down.
