Processing: The Beginning

0 Comments
Today we began to use Processing, writing code to create images. The idea was to create small manipulations to a form to create new variations, without breaking the true form. This is effectively pushing the boundaries of the chosen form.

Having studied Comp102 last trimester I had a slight advantage when we began learning about variables. As we wrote code to create lines and other various shapes, I felt familar with this work and went straight into code writing.






The image I created was originally built using five rectangles and four lines using the variables wid1, hei1, xp, yp. These stood for width1, height1, x-position and y-position.

I then decided to create another image with slightly harder specifications. I decided to draw a 3D cube using only the line feature, not the rectangle feature. This was slightly trickier as I had to work out the placement of the starting x-position and y-position and the ending x-position and y-position.




 The hard part of this creation was figuring out where to create the 3D aspect, although afterwards, I learnt that there was a 3D feature to Processing, however we do not learn it.

About

I am a designer, currently studying Design Innovation at Victoria University of Wellington. My focus areas are website and mobile media development, interaction design, 3D modelling and animation and audio-visual space. My blog shows my journey through each project as well as my learning experience through university. What do I want to be when I grow up? I have no idea. But I love what I'm learning. Although there have been many bumps along the road in this journey and despite the fact that there are going to be many more, I wouldn't have it any other way.
