Houdini + Bullet + Voronoi Fracture

By Karey in Animation, Computer Graphics, Motion

Beautifully built animation of the bullet implementation by Jesse Erickson using Houdini 3D animation package and Voronoi Fracture Asset. Not quite sure I under stand the physics involved, much less how to use the software; but I definitely appreciate Jesse's work. All his video's on Vimeo are worth checking out, but a couple more of my favorites include Fur vs. Smoke and Fluid Junk.

The Third & The Seventh by Alex Roman

By Karey in Animation, Architecture, Art, Computer Graphics, Motion

WOW. Everything you thought was possible and more in CG. A full CG animated piece illustrating architecture as art through the photograph and filming of existing spaces. Don't let the description confuse you though, by 'existing spaces' I mean built architecture modeled in 3ds Max. Creator Alex Roman states 'I think i must make it clear. There are a few non-CG elements in the shortfilm: photographer (shot on greenscreen), pigeons, timelapsed growing flowers, flying airplane and sky backgrounds."

BEAUTIFUL. MUST watch in full screen, with sound on. And don't stop short, the latter few minutes are my favorite.

Recommended by my friend Howard at crtl-i. Almost makes me want to be an architect again . . . .

Complexification by Jared Tarbell

complexification-sandtraveler

While going through ages of old online bookmarks, came across an amazing Flash inspiration: computer scientist Jared Tarbell. An avid promoter of using computer code and mathematics to generate computer art, his work boils down to elaborate lines of code, written so intricately that he turns basic graphical elements into complex geometries and animations. Beginning with an algorithmic goal, he finely tunes each program with the aim of specific results, but also allows his methodology to drift off target and produce unexpected discoveries. Additionally, majority of his work is open source, encouraging all to experiment and learn from his code.

Take a look at examples below of Jared's work, and also be sure to visit his two sites:
Complexification (where the projects below are pulled from)
Levitated (more animation/motion work, also a few current updates)

Okdelux

By Karey in Animation, Motion, Processing

Stumbled across Okdelux today, an interactive design studio based in London. The studio focuses on media and environmental experiences based upon generative graphics and responsive environments. Additionally, a lot of their work, from installations to typography experiments, use processing as the primarily development tool. View examples of Okdelux's work below.

My favorite - Generative physics based animation (and Happy Holidays!!!):
