Generative Art Collection

A repository of my Processing-based generative art projects.

Repository Structure

• common/ - Reusable utilities and libraries for generative art. For example:

  • Color utilities
  • Math functions
  • Particle systems
  • Vector operations

• template/ - Starting point for new generative art projects

  • Basic setup with canvas configuration
  • Common imports
  • Parameter management
  • Image export utilities

• everything else is a generative art project

Depencencies

• Processing - The programming environment and language used for generative art creation.
• PaperAndPencil - A library that I've created for creating paper textures and pencil-like drawing effects. Used in a few projects (e.g., pencil/ and tube/). See the readme in that repository for more details on how to install and use it.

Getting Started

To create a new project:

1. Copy the template/ folder
2. Rename it to your project name
3. Open the .pde file in Processing
4. Modify and experiment!
