Title: Circle Patterns
Post by: 4B on August 22, 2014, 03:32:20 am

Hi guys.

I just finished to upload a video about my latest project - Circle Patterns.
Some time ago I already presented you my Spirograph and I think the circle patterns now look even better.

Take a look at the project:

gah, every time I get pulled in by the pattern, you clear it!

Pretty cool though, any plans for this?

Awesome! For now I want to make own clone of this :D

I like generative art. :)
How about some color? :p

@Gobbles Yes I found this same issue. But it just looks disgusting if I reset this whole thing after 8th oder 9th circle-spawn. I need to get something like a freeze-function - don't know yet.

@achpile Thanks, glad you like it. =)

@G. Oh dear, finally I know how to call these things. Generative art - thanks.  ;D
Of course I already played around with color, but I feel like black&white is better than dark&light blue.

[Update]
Finally I want to thank G. for his suggestion. It just looks awesome with some color.

The new result can be seen here:

I have to admit that I fell in love with generative arts so I started a series on Youtube "Drawing With Code" - If you like what you see, leave a sub for more. I'm going to upload future projects there, too.

The one at 0:19 looks like peacock feathers (http://images2.layoutsparks.com/1/177257/butterfly-peacock-feather.jpg) :p

the fill colors make it look that much cooler. Very nicely done.

Looks great, well done. It's again fascinating that simple things can be so powerful in the outcome.
Are you planing to make videos/art with other geometry too?

@Geheim Sure, I've got so many different ideas that I already drew in a sketchbook. I feel a little bad for advertising this much, but check out Drawing With Code #3, there you got a different processing.

@G. You're right. Sometimes I got the impression eyes are looking at me.  ;D
