Heres a short film showing the animation over time. It has been sped up for ease sake but the normal animation moves at half the speed.

Here is my finished piece for project 1 of MDDN 242.

Here are some screenshots showing the effect of the animation in various stages.

Tue, 27 Mar 2012 20:43:00 -0700 Last 242 Development http://loxyreid.posterous.com/last-242-development http://loxyreid.posterous.com/last-242-development

After playing around with the code again I decided to just deal with really small circles.

The circles do split again and again and eventually fill up the screen.

It is quite interesting to watch as the circles are too small to really see, it appears as if the lines are just been bent by some force underneath.

Another desicion was to remove color from the piece. The lack of color and the contrasting black and white really brings out the original optical illusion which I was hoping to catch. This bring the third dimention to life compared to a mild effect that comes with color.

Changed up the code so it includes a list of circles and creates them semi randomly as the animation progresses.

Makes the animation slightly more interesting as something unexpected happens, especially if it takes ages for the first circle to split.

Sun, 25 Mar 2012 13:16:00 -0700 242 Color selection http://loxyreid.posterous.com/242-color-selection http://loxyreid.posterous.com/242-color-selection

Just been playing around with different color selections. Seeing whether similar colors or contrasting colors work well together. I think the contrasting ones stand out much more (as expected). However the similar colors, especially when only a few shades off, make the piece really interesting. The animation is less obvious on glance.

My concept for the first 242 project is to create an interesting animation using a similar 'op art' effect to the picture above. 

The circle (sphere) will move around the screen manipulating the lines to create an interesting to look at animation.

I should also look at playing around with color, speeds and line widths.

Excercise 1 description:

Produce 4 examples of 1D functions, and 4 examples of 2D/parametric functions. The goal of the exercise is to show your mastery of the math toolbox functions presented in class.
