How to find the centre coordinate of the cube can be counted as the difficult aspect — the coordinate changes. Why the coordinate so important? Because it needs using that coordinate as reference when doing the explosion and spanning. But there’s also a simple way, to define the centre point’s coordinate in centre of the screen at the start.

For the future Consciousness shapes creation, may make the shape more randomly. Not only the colours of (Read more...)

Spanning sphere is the first idea of the exhibition before I changed my idea to the consciousness cube. Thought details between these two changed some but basic spanning idea and the idea of trigger effect kept.

This spanning sphere use blender to create a 3D model and loaded into processing with the form of *.OBJ. The following sketches are from the blender and processing. The texture effect looks changed a bit from the blender to (Read more...)

This is a spanning cube made up by thousands of small points. The colour of this cube changed randomly per 60 frames. By mouse press on the showing area, all of these points will diffuse into a larger and further space.

The idea is around the theme of “Consciousness” and basically created a “consciousness shaped” 3D computer graphic. The conception of consciousness could be abstract and bodiless. That’s the reason using thousands of points to (Read more...)

//the idea basically is using “for” for loops.
//calculate the radius of circle which can make it easier to fit the screen size
//draw both circles left and right at once (same y value)
//change x value and y value, loop 10 times in total
