Processing Monsters
http://www.rmx.cz/monsters/From the author:
These monsters are result of my effort to learn Processing and encourage others
to do so by showing the source code. Also, at the end, my plan is to do a short music reactive video using these monsters (UPDATE: The video will happen (sooner or later), I've just been really busy last couple of months). So if you feel like you can make one too and be part of it, rules are simple: Strictly black and white + mouse reactive.
Love Bytes
http://universaleverything.com/#/UE205Generative creatures created as an identity design for the LoveBytes 2007 Digital Art Festival in the UK
From the project:
Universal Everything's Matt Pyke applied generative principals to create a 'touchable' identity, definiting simple parameters within which the design could mutate: colour, hairtype, weight, 'sex', etc. Programmed Karsten Schmidt built a Processing application that generated more than 20,000 characters as Photoshop Files, which were digitally printed to make 20,000 different postcards.
Generative Patterns
Generative book covers for faberfinds.co.uk - an on-demand print service for classic out-of-print books:
Each book cover is unique and generated from parameters in software.
Some other interactive characters created with code
Flying Spaghetti MonsterBunch of Eyes
Monster 03 (BLAAH)
Organs without Body
Petes Monster v1
Face Excerces
Drawing Chairs with Parameters
Other Programmatic Design
Vectorpark is not created in Processing, it's created in Flash (ActionScript) but the same code principals apply and are very inspiring: http://vectorpark.com/
Other creative code references
http://openprocessing.orgOpen Processing is a website that allows you to log in and upload/share the source code for your visual projects. There are a lot of random, expressive ideas people have made from which you can glean for your own projects.
http://workshop.evolutionzone.com/
Workshop.evolutionzone is an aggregate of processing related content. There's some very interesting projects, tutorials, and techniques you can peruse through.
