HW8_CONTACT FREE ART

I decided to create what in spanish we call "polluelos"... little chickens.  They get placed so that they look like the "Chicken army".   

My interpretation of the inorganic ended up turning into something abstract but colorful!

I also made a drawing inspired in the texture of crystal when something gets broken and it smashes in infinite little pieces.

And here some cells.

Some flowers!!!!

The first drawing I made were some sunflowers which pattern gets constructed and grows...I wish I knew how to use a movie grabber...but... I still haven´t figure it out. I keep on promising videos and they never get there...Maybe tomorrow? Since then, enjoy a sunny day with sunflowers!

HW7_MOOD ANALYSER

For my mood analyzer, I decided that the mood in which the drawer is while drawing will be conveyed through the use of color, thickness and alpha. Observing previous gestures that we have studied, I realized the thickness of the stroke depends on the velocity in which the drawing is made, more than on the angle of the drawn line. So I decided to link the variables used in my drawing tool to different mood states:

If the bounding box is big---the drawer wants to get noticed---the line he is drawn will turn into a really thick line.

 

However, one can want to be noticed by drawing in an big canvas but drawing a lot (having a big total lenght). In that case, I made the thickness of the drawing be a bit smaller so that the lines in the drawing don´t get mixed with each other.

I linked the angle change to the red, so bigger angle change, more red. My thought was that if we draw having a bigger angle change, we are conveying how nervous we are...That's why in this case, the line gets a bit more red.

Here we have an example of a big angle change...It is yellow because I linked the time we spend drawing with the green (my thought was in nature people take it easy, take their time to do things). That's why eventhough one is nervous while drawing lines with a big angle change, there is a lot of green (and no blue) and lots of red so it is yellow. Since the bounding box is smaller, the thickness of the line is smaller too...

I have more drawings in other situations to get posted...I´ll be posting them after class....Donm´t wanna miss the train! more, coming really soooooooooon!

HW6_RESAMPLE THREAD INTO A SPIRAL BY HAND

I created five strokes with purple thread and I resampled them into spirals. I placed them onto a black background simulating the drawing tool that I created with code.

The five strokes drawn with the mouse before getting resampled into spirals. Now made by hand with a purple thread onto a black background. 

Detail shot of the threads that turned into spirals.

HW6_RESAMPLE STROKES INTO A SPIRAL

My drawing tool resamples spirals that will be placed in different places in the screen. Five different strokes can be drawn one after the other, getting resampled into five different spirals that have different radius and are placed in different places. to do it i looked up the spiral formula in the internet, and i made it work similarly as Zach done with the circle formula, dividing the cosinus by TWO_PI. When I put a small radius in the start animating in the testapp.cpp, it gets clearer that the stroke drawn turns into a spiral. If you put a big radius, you cannot really identify what is the shape that the first stroke made is resampling into. Here you have the five strokes turning into spirals:

The first images is the first stroke being resampled. The second is the stroke already resampled as a spiral.The third, the forth and fifth are the 2º, 3º , 4º and 5º stroke getting resampled. 

The sixth image corresponds at the five strokes being already spirals and the image that follows is a detail shot.

The two last images are the same thing but drawing fast. So that the five spirals are a mess since they get to an order determined by the spiral shape.

The next step is to work getting different colors in each of the spirals and having the their radius be the last  point where the mouse stops drawing the strokes.

HW5_PLAYING WITH ATAN AND THE DISTANCE FORMULA

My drawing tool is not finished yet. I couldn´t make it so that if you draw slower, the line gets bigger. I changed though the thickness of the line. I don´t really understand how it works...I need some feedback on that, but basically, the first time you draw the line is really thin and the second gesture you make, the line gets thicker. I have observed that the line is generally thin when within the same gesture you draw, but it gets bigger once you draw on the other direction. I played with the sign on the sqrt and I exchanged the the sin and cos in the velocity variable...Any ideas?

I've also made it so that when you press R you can change the color of the stroke.

HW5_CALCULATING THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS

I made a tool that calculates the distance between point 1 and point 6 of the line drawn. Depending on how fast you draw the distance is bigger.

HW5_MY NAME MADE OUT OF POINTS IN A TRACING PAPER

HW_4.FIRST REAL TRY OF THE DRAWING TOOL FOR COLLECTIVE THOUGHTS

This is the first time I used my drawing tool with a group of two people (after having a hard time making everything work). My friend Lauren and me tested the tool. While drawing I thought about the way she was staring at me. Her big and deep gaze which is the mirror of her personality: strong and deep. She told me she was just distracted, while looking at me and drawing. It was the first time she was drawing while staring at someone's eyes. She said she could´t concentrate in any concrete though. Hers is the red drawing. I spaced out, I was too excited with the creation of the real first collective drawing of thoughts and I forgot to photograph mine...Excitement is not always helpful for practical reasons...Sorry guys...

One more drawing made out of two thoughts....

HW4_TOOL TO DRAW THOUGHTS BTWN TWO PEOPLE

This tool makes one drawing from two people inputs. While using it, the two people should be facing each other. After some time looking at each other's eyes, one of them starts drawing what the other one makes him/her think about while looking. The drawing tool captures the first gesture, that it is red. Once finish, without looking at the screen (still looking at each other's eyes), the second person draws (after pressing the rewind right arrow). The second gesture starts recording. The second person should make the same, draw what the other person made him/her think about. The second gesture is blue. Once done, the two gestures can be seen together, by clicking the left arrow. 

This drawing tool makes one drawing out of two thoughts, out of what two different people have thought after observing each other's eyes. 

Each of the two gestures is done by three different strokes: A line, a line of circles (on top of the raw line) whose distance depends on the velocity of the gesture of each participant and a line of circles that grows its radius depending again on the velocity. 

The drawing tool is design so that only two people can make one drawing. Once the collective drawing is done, the new participants can make another drawing by clearing up the screen.

The next step would be to make the two gestures interact with each other once the collective drawing is made, so that the two thoughts in the one drawing are dynamic after being made.
