The aesthetic has wandered from Moebius to Hiroshi Yoshida, and the world now has a day/night cycle. Here’s a view of the protagonist regarding some ruins at midnight…

I’ve spent a few days hacking up a toon-shaded game inspired by all my favorite Belgian BD artists. We’ll see what this turns into…

A screenshot of the source code for the spline algorithm. It compares quite favorably to any way you might do this without #geometricalgebra.

Last week, at the Uffizi, I ran into one of the many portraits of Isabella Brant that Rubens painted. I spent some time drawing her while I was in art school, so she seems like an old friend whenever I see her 😊

Lloyd's Relaxation is a cousin of k-means that’s still used for quantization, dithering, and stippling. With the pieces from yesterday, it’s only about 10 lines of code… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd's... #geometer #geometricalgebra

The same BYO algebra mesh topology implementation from yesterday being used with CGA2D/CGA3D to make computing Delaunay and Voronoi triangulation easy and dimension agnostic. The code is the same for 2D and 3D, just parameterized with functions from the two algebras. #geometer #geometricalgebra

I have a mesh topology library that takes pluggable algebras. Here’s sphere inversion by creating an icosphere using PGA3D, then inverting it through another sphere using CGA3D. The effect is a bit like Escher’s conformal map visualizations, but on a triangle mesh. #geometer

Today’s #geometer example. This time it's a random city plan generator that's a mix of some X-Windows screen savers I made on Sun workstations in the 80s, early work by Jared Tarbell, and (most directly) Metropolis by Marcus Volz.

I made a #Clojure port of this gorgeous coordinate free technique for drawing circular arc splines in PGA2D using #geometer. It will be included in the examples for the library… www.youtube.com/watch?v=m317...

I’m not sure how this #Clojure program could be shorter without losing generality. 🤔

Every geometry library needs an orthographic projection cube example, right?

We made a pilgrimage to the Aral Desert, which was still the world’s fourth largest inland sea in 1970. They say the future is here but unevenly distributed, and this is the best proxy I’ve seen for the future we are currently making.

One can generate nice patterns using only XOR, like the 2D pattern on the left: (doseq [x (range w)] (doseq [y (range h)] (when (not (zero? (mod (bit-xor x y) 7))) (draw-mark x y)))) … but it's also possible to add another dimension to carve a 3D shape, like the render on the right.
