penner’s easing equations processing library

Being an actionscript head, I’ve frequently used rober penner’s easing equations in processing*. To avoid copy/paste each time I’ve packed them as a processing library. While I was at it, I discovered a couple of implementations (1, 2), but I was almost done, and wanted to learn how to make processing libraries anyway. So in [...]

openframeworks, an introduction

Last week I went to a two-day openframeworks workshop run by Zach Lieberman at hangar. As said here before (and elsewhere), openframeworks is an open-source library to help other artists and students produce works through coding, written in C++. Yes, this might sound familiar.

First part was about my reasons for learning-using-loving processing and how I’ve managed to use it in a commercial context. Then I went into a tutorial explaining the ascii video [...]

Sketchiness.

That is, some of my friends growing up tend to draw, you know whenever. Start a sketch, doodle in class, pick up something, refine it, etc. Anyway, these folks end up getting really good, less out of diligent patience than iterated and distracted practice. [...] For a process to be sketchy, or like sketching, it [...]
