Here is a grabs from an experiment, as you move around particles of paint spray in the direction you move.

Sketch Range Filter

Here are some more attempts to create a generative stipple filter. The idea here is to find the outlines of shapes in the image. I think that I can use this data to create bounds for particles and stipple points.

Portrait Pixel Flow

Been doing some testing to find the flow of pixels in portraits. Above are a few attempts to find vectors in pixels based on surrounding pixels. In video this is achieved by simple comparing current frames to previous frames then calculating the velocity of the different pixels. Here I want to find the general flow of pixels through the image. The goal is to then have particles stream through the image to generate a representation of the image, some type of generative stipple drawing.

iPhoto Averaged

I’m working on a project were I load every image from my computer and average the pixels. I want to find the universal pixel and image of the computer. In my head I thought this would would be a very interesting set of colors. For instance if you were a photographer you would have a very beautiful array of color. But is you were an accountant your color array would be bland. In my first test I average all the pixels in iPhoto and blaaa, its brown, what a bummer, nothing pretty. I have some other ideas, hope I can find something interesting.

BitmapData Tutorial

I put together a tutorial for class and figured I would share it with everyone. This is a very simple lesson on how to accesses the bitmapData Class in Flash 8. The end result is a pixel stretch with a live video feed.
