Brownian Lines from Corey Hankey on Vimeo
Its been a while but I decided it was time to get back to it. After taking some time to read more from the processing book I discovered that processing renders at the a specified frame rate. Unlike flash which will skip to keep up with the processor, processing renders can be saved out in an image sequence similar to a 3d program like Maya or Cinema4D.
This concept gave me some inspiration to create more complex animations using the saveFrame() method. I started off by collecting my colors from images in my photo library containing things that I enjoyed like my wife or the great outdoors. I used a for loop to create 2000 lines on the stage at when the program was started and then grabbed a brew while processing rendered out the 300 frames that I specified.
I have included a few vimeo videos that I posted but…… they just don’t do the animation justice so I posted a quicktime of the blue render here: Brownian Quicktime.
