This week we have quite a few generative art updates: Re—tain on TezTalks, Alba's new group show Stranger Skies, several new generative art projects launching - as well as some interesting reads on generative art, digital collectibles and new developments in AI.

In this post we revisit our particle system, and have a first look at the Verlet Integration method, which is an alternate method for simulating particle physics. It is in many ways more robust that the regular Euler Integration method that we have employed so far.

This week we mainly dive into some cool AI things, like StackOverflow's own chatbot that will greatly improve the debugging experience. Alongside a cornucopia of interesting tech related topics that I curated over the course of the week! And the usual sprinkle of Gorilla stuff! Enjoy!

One approach to modeling deformable objects in computer graphics are spring-mass systems: a technique that allows us to bring Soft Body physics to life. Picking up from the particle mesh that we created last time; in this post we'll tackle different configurations for blob-like shapes.

This week we have a look at a new and exciting project from Inigo Quilez, the N=12 group exhibition on Feral File, Re-tain: a new generative art platform on tezos, as well as a number of interesting reads that revolve around different genart topics!

Springs are an integral concept to physics, fundamental components used in many applications, coming to life with Hooke's Law from the 17th century. In this post we have a look at how to code and simulate such springs and extend a previous particle system with them.

This week: Twitter rolls out a new creator ads revenue sharing program, we launch a discourse forum for the blog, we have a brief look at the nft show europe in Valencia, and also see the launch announcement of a new generative art platform on Eth. Among many more news!

Putting in the effort day after day and latching on to those fleeting moments of inspiration can go a long way to set yourself up for success. Advice from accomplished generative artists Jared Tarbell, Tyler Hobbs and Bruce aka Studio Yorktown.

In this post we have a look at a simple algorithmic idea that can produce some very interesting organic looking patterns. At it's essence it's a circle packing strategy, but with the added twist that these circles are connected in a tree like structure. 🌳🦠

Every week we are blessed with more Twitter Drama - is Twitter actually dying? Will Zuckerberg figuratively, and literally, deliver a knockout punch? Oh, there's also stuff about generative art if you've heard about it. Check it!

Vue is an excellent framework for creating intricate and reactive user interfaces, while maintaining a manageable code base. In this article we cover the core concepts and build a minimal app to showcase Vue's features.

This week we take another ride on the wild Twitter roller-coaster, with a change that might profoundly affect the platform in the future. Equally big news from FxHash, planning on integrating Eth support. As well as many more updates from the world of generative art!
