hi everyone!

a couple of days ago a ran across processing and i got hooked eversince well, sort of - being no coding monkey at all (no backgrounds whatsoever) i expect some hard work before i can start realizing some of my ideas. now, i've been looking for tutorials and other noob-material all over the place but have not really found much (other than the material in the learning section). in addition i amazoned "Processing. An Introduction to Creative Code and Computational Art: Creative Coding and Computational Art".

q1)is there something else that would come in handy for the prospective processing geek? video tut, maybe ??

q2)i usually have my work printed on canvas. is there a way to port my future processing work to cinema4d or other 3d applications, so i can then apply my usual rendering routines?

thanx for reading and your answers.

looking forward to start becoming ...hm ... what many of you are

Hey

I was a newbie a couple of months ago. I began with ordering Processing: A Programming Handbook for Visual Designers and Artists By Casey Reas and Ben Fry from Amazon, which is my main tutorial and reference ever since I got it.

I haven't even tried to find newbie tutorials on the net since I ordered the book. Browsing some of the sites mentioned here in the forums helped me though. The book is excellent and got me to where I am now. I also have the creative coding book, but haven't opended it yet Being a graphic designer with extremely limited coding experience I found the book by Reas and Fry to be a complete tutor and inspirator for processing work. Everything I learned from the book got straight into my projects. I seriously recommend this book even if you are a total novice. Remember though that knowledge doesn't come automatically. Experimentation, reading between the lines and thinking like "ok, but what happens if I do this" makes everything move a bit faster
I am now being rewarded at work with alot of Woohoo and Wows from my collegues due to a bit of dedication.

Good luck on your learning and keep that spirit and motivation up!

Hi everyone!

I am another newbie since a few days... I have some memories of computing during my studies, but I am quite new to 'computer generated art'...
I have also ordered the first book but I am playing with examples...

Hey guys, thought I'd chime in too.

I just got my book, "Visualizing Data" and thought about the other one, but I think this one eases you into it a little better.

I'm kind of a GIS nerd and am always looking at ways to get data and throw it on a map. This looks like a good medium to do what a traditional GIS does.

Anyways, I'd like to see what everyone's done in the past with this, so I'll explore the boards a little more.

Thx

Hi guys,

I know the feeling of being a bit of a noob in processing, and I can't say that I am particularly that brilliant, but for my final year project in media production I did a website that runs through some simple applets line by line using some of the examples on the website, and also some made from scratch. have a look and see what you think, any feedback is always good of course.
