interactive particles
May 4th, 2010, 1:15pm  
hi everybody!

i want to create an interactive instalation and i need your help:)

here is a quick sketch:
...

On the image I will will be just standing (picture/maybe short - few frames movie in LOOP with small body movements) and instead of my head i will have white ,,dandelion,,
http://i.pbase.com/v3/84/519484/1/44292017.pissenlitBW.jpg
and it should react to the sound / movement  = when there is sound/movement the white seeds(particles) of my head(dandelion) will blow away and then come back to the position. So I need to create a particle system of these seeds and their random blow away in X,Y axis (maybe also Z(or just decreasing size)) and maybe also a small rotation(random few degrees).

can you give me some directions which way to go i appreciate any ur help!Smiley
if i didn´t explained the project enough simply to understand,please ask for more details.)

really thanks!!

neat, we don't see many drawings here...sounds like you'd be best off making a particle class.  Each particle could own its current adn original xpos and ypos variables, a move() function (change current xpos,ypos), and a display() function (display the PImage of the seed).  If you do some hunting around for particle classes on here, you'll probably get some mileage...
