This is a bunch of new monsters I found or got sent from my friends and relatives

Particle effects look very fancy but are actually very easy to implement in processing. This is a small tutoral that shows how. The particle effect implemented here is 2-Dimentional but the same principles can be applied to a 3D version.

My Day 30 Project for 30daysofcreativity is a little processing firework

I just proted the example programm from my processing tutorial to processing.js. I only had to remove the private keywords from my classes and change tiny bits here and there. But i was really surprised how well everything went

I made a little "workflow"-diagram, that draws boxes with a little dropshadow. I do this by calling a paint method that does all the drawing. Then I apply a blur filter and shift the whole image slightly to the upper right. Then the paint method is called again, and draws the boxes, arrows, and text entries.

I made a new pencil-drawing yesterday

Update:

there is a new version of the CookieCutter-Editor!

Recently some very awsome cookiecutter-designs started to show up on thingiverse (like the escher cookie cutter or the jigsaw cookie cutter, and many more) (and one of the local radiostations has played "last cristmas", because it's only 6 months till x-mas O_o )

So i thought about how the generation of such custom cookie cutters could be simplified and i developed a custom cookie cutter generator in processing.

Basically it's a very very simple vector graphic programm, where you can design the cookie form you want to have. to export the design as a stl file press the letter 'e'

This is what the cookie-cutter-editor looks like

This is what the generated stl file looks like

And this is what the printed cookie-cutter looks like (still have to fiddle around with my skeinforge settings a bit)

I made a very small pixelfont for using it on a 5x7-ledmatrix

I also made a bigger version, to make it a bit more readable on a computer screen

My Day 24 project for 30daysofcreativity

This is a little aquarium i made, using an image my daughter has drawn. So the creds for the artwork go to mona, i did just the coding
