Create Illustrator blends?
Nov 21st, 2009, 7:37am  
Hi there, I tried to find some information about this subject but couldn't find it in the reference/forum.

I'm quite a beginner in the whole processing and scripting world but find it a interesting tool.

My question is (as the title might have given away), if it's possible to create a blend between two object. Lets say a circle and a square for starters.

And if possible, can the parameters be randomized? So that you give up the two shapes and then generate, a randomized creation rolles out of the to basic shapes.

Similar question at Simple form tweening.
I gave a solution for circle to square, but no generic solution, I fear.
I suppose you have to define a bunch of bezier vertices, and find an algorithm to move the control and end points of the first shape to those of the second shape. Needing to merge or split if needed, if the number of points is different. And to ensure the shapes doesn't go wild...
A non trivial task!

Kinda in the right direction, to make it more clear, this is what I'm aiming for:
...

I'm guessing that creating a font generator is quite a task for a newbie in processing Wink

fontlab has an option to merge 2 fonts to 1.
Then you can say I want it 90% to be rockwell and 10% futura etc.

yes. i think if this is what you are aiming for. processing is probably not the right tool in this case.
