Processing combined effort (Read 15635 times)

andrewowaun Full Member Offline Posts: 202 Barbados	Processing combined effort Feb 17^th, 2010, 6:57am Does anyone here want to work on a combined processing effort ? Please reply with ideas, as towards a project we can all contribute to, that really illustrates the power of Processing. Updated Feb 20^th, 2010, 3:35pm As suggested by yelele_eu, I will post the agreed ideas here

A mega-sketch with bells and whistles might be cool, but it would more likely be a Java programming (and library usage) exercise, and possibly frighten away newbies when they see how complicated it is. -spxl

I think that's a $^*ù^ great idea!! I was thinking of something like that not later than yesterday, while looking at this demo:
http://vimeo.com/8837024

The video above is a combination of small sequences all put together. Look at the first sequence. Looks like two different sketches mixed together. The result is great.

We could do something like that with Processing in a collaborative way. Processing, sunflow, jbox2d... Cheesy

nice video and a nice idea.

could have a start image of a known size (even something simple like a cross or circle or a photo like their empty room) and each have 100 or 200 frames to do anything we like with it and return it back to the original state at the end. then it'd be easy to string them all together.

(there was a sketch remix thread a while ago where people would remix the sketch that the last person posted) - http://processing.org/discourse/yabb2/?num=1212696216

Make promotionals video, to demonstrate what it's possible to do with processing, is not a bad idea but you already can do this by shooting existing online applets or programs, and remixing these with a video program like MovieMaker.

If you want to make demos, especially real time one, you never can beat the existing scene : hard programming, musicians and designer who make some incredible things.

I don't care about beating anyone. I want to have fun using open-source software.

I also like koogy's idea. Let's just start with a simple image, anyone interested in the project produces 150 frames (25 FPS => 6 seconds) and we just mix everything in a video.

Why not starting with the processing logo

Which resolution 400x300 640x480 Full HD? ;D

not going to be that easy though, is it. (or is it?)

everything else will also need to match, like camera position, perspective, lighting, 2d / p3d / opengl, stuff like that, anything that could make the image look different.

keep it simple in order to keep it inclusive. 640x480?

.../lib/export/loading.gif looks ok, is that the one you mean. it's 100x100 and has a white border. shall we say start with that centred in the middle of a #FFFFFF 640x480 window? P3D gives us more scope but i guess anything that starts and ends with an image identical to the above will be ok.

can you define openprocessing.org groups (yes)? or will tags be enough?

and it'll need a name...

OK, so let's say the first and last frames should look like this :

Code:

void setup() {
  size(640, 480, P3D);
  background(255);
  PImage icon = loadImage("loading.gif");
  image(icon, 270, 190);
}

loading.gif refers to [your processing install path]/lib/export/loading.gif

You should get this 640x480 picture to start from :

andrew, what are your thoughts?

I agree with logo idea. No matter with the resolution : we can slow down the frame rate and produce image for each frame => the best way to produce a high quality video (with virtual dub for example), no
But i agree with 640*480 res.

A question : where you want posting sketches OpenProcessing

Openprocessing is the best outlet for P3D sketches.

As for OPENGL since openprocessing does not support OPENGL, there are others like www.obssessing.org

I like the P5 logo and Processing splashscreen idea. (Help->About Processing)
http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/0d3ded47406e4479d050b1359ceae47f5g.jpg

We can start with those two (2) and go from there.

I like the idea of using the processing logo as a starting point!
But rather than remixing sketches we could also think along the line of layering sketches on top of each other.

Each sketch would act as some kind of video filter using the visuals of the sketch below it as input and transforming it into something completely different ...

The base sketch showing the processing logo would run for the complete video, and then every 6 seconds or so a new layer of transformation would hit the scene.
Once all transforms are stacked ontop of each other we could remove them at a faster pace until only the processing logo remains. This process could be repeated several times with different stacks of sketches

If you are interested in pursuing this approach, I could provide the framework for stacking the sketches and creating the video ...
We might even go for a metasketch, that lets the user stack sketches interactively...

I'd upload this framework to openprocessing.org, so anyone could download it, add their sketches and upload it again ...

i like the logo - simple and more scope. the splashscreen's too big and an odd size.

yes, the frames are really all that matters at the end of the day but it'd be nice if everyone could run the other sketches.

(am toying with the idea of some kind of framework where individual sketches can be pasted into different tabs and chosen at random when the previous one finishes, kind of like the electricsheep screensaver that people might know. will need to think about it. an interface? introspection?)

> But rather than remixing sketches we could also think along the line of layering sketches on top of each other.

the Mother library does this kind of thing. have a search.

Cedric God Member Offline Posts: 1838	Re: Processing combined effort Reply #14 - Feb 18^th, 2010, 1:15pm i already thought the icon might be too much. a simple chross or ellipse would be better cause you can easily transform everything into it... not into this logo, this is much harder... the splash is a bad idea i think...
