For my final project, I worked with multiple time point recorders. A camera placed in a top view track people-s movements and transform that into a graphical interface that reads the speed, path and direction.

Springs interacting. Several forces like clockwise and counterclockwise were added, so it starts to make some spinning amoeba shapes. Also the mouse has a Sin modulating the radius of the force, giving a nice breathing-like effect.

I made several test before this model. The hardest part was to avoid the creatures from falling down.

Using the vector field, and particle trail to draw little lines behind each particle I worked on getting a waterfall effect (really abstract).

Also added some changing colors, position and size depending on the velocity to have a more natural feeling.

For this one I focused mainly on the color of the particles and the forces to get a reflection in the water effect.

For me, it looks as if you're looking at water at night from above.

For this one I wanted to make an energy Ball.

I used more random than usual, which is not-cool, but it served my purposes to achieve the electric look I was looking for.

For this one, I wanted to use the particles and their interaction to make cells. Like White Cells, they chase the mouse to attack the invader agent. This is the second version where i could get them to rotate so didn´t look all equally oriented. Also used sin and cosine to get the shaky motion that cells have.

Freezing smoke using particles and a particle simulating smoke.

For this one, I connected the particles with a line when they are closer than 200 px, also they change their color to a bright orange. I wanted to have this energetic feel when they are close and in movement.

I wanted some kind of rain, so I added some "gravity". The particles change size and color based on the velocity.

I wanted the particles to have an organic feel, like snakes or fish in the water. I added a trail that follows the path that the particles follow. Also I played around with the scale of the particles affecting them by the velocity. It looks nice.

Fireworks exploding in a ring shape using sin and cos. Works with the mouse, I couldn't get the autoplay.

Bloodish particles from a custom image particle made in Photoshop. I added a scalar variable. Next step (that I couldn't figure out this time) is to make them stop, cause it seems to be too intense for the processor after a while.

Based in the example from class, I worked on the code to control the speed of a playing movie.

Although the code is not that fancy as I would like to, I found this footage from a work I did a couple of years ago. Fits perfectly and it's fun for a simple control.

OMG this was hard for me!! But learnt a lot. This is kind of a mix between assignments.

Everything got more interesting when I included the AM modulation and mixing between sin,cos,tan.

This elastic effect is a visual representation of the track I chose (watch video). Music by: Bibio // Album: Ambivalence Avenue // Song: Jealous of Roses.

Descriptive movement path of a ball in a pot.

Drawing my name in OpenFrameworks. A really ugly result as I dont't really manage how to draw curves.

Inspired by the work of Robin Roades,

Really should be: slowest speed for impercetible movement, I think.

Still don't really understand 100% how ofRotate works, but it's beautiful.
