Stylized Sun
Sep 17th, 2007, 12:13pm  
Hello!

I'd like to post my first Processing applet; this is still in-progress but feedback is welcome:

Update: http://www.tinrocket.com/content/00247/sun.html

I've been up all night working on this -- it has just turned 6 AM here and I have to go to work in 3 hours.

Eventually, I'd like to set up a section of my website for Processing and maybe port some of the Processing-type work I've done over the past 10 years... I wrote a nice Cloud program about 8 years ago that would complement this Sun.

Thanks,

John B.

Thanks, Xeon.

I put some images up showing some of the parameter variations:

I've started a section on my site for processing (this is the only Processing project so far):

http://www.tinrocket.com/projects/programming/processing/

But if you poke around my site, you will probably find lots of other projects that would have easily lent themselves to Processing. Smiley

Mr. John

Hey, really nice. How did you get the flames flowing so effectively? Looks great.

Thanks, Gordon.

There are two sine wave functions that drive the flare. The first is slow, and the line derived from it is not the graph of the sine wave, but rather a series of line segments that are being rotated by the sine value scaled over time. That's how the overall path compresses near the tip.

The second sine function is faster and travels along the first sine-based path.

I've posed a sketch with a single flare here:
