Still cranking out stuff

At this point, I'm trying to develop a few more image generators for variety. I'm also experimenting with assembling videos out of exported images. Lastly, I've really gotten interested in randomly / functionally? generated primitives, so as to create warped shapes. Here are some examples.

Would you want to be the lava of another?


I've been trying to figure out how to simulate fluids with primitives in Game Maker, and ended up making a lava lamp. Download your own lava lamp here!
~2MB, Windows only. :( One day GM will be available for Macs, but until then...

Collages

I've built a digital collage generator that combs through a specified folder and assembles compositions from what it finds. If there's any interest, I might sell an edition of these. I'm going to do some pricing today and tomorrow to see what my options are.





By the way, about the background for the past couple of days: social experiment. LOL.
