Live Coding: Cairo Tiling Explained! The Art of Code 2023-03-06 | You probably know that you can tile the plane with triangles, squares and hexagons. But did you know you can do it with pentagons? While the pentagon has to be skewed a little, this is possible, and it makes for a beautiful, geometric-yet-organic looking pattern called a Cairo tiling, that isn't nearly used enough. In this video we will create this tiling from scratch, in the hopes that it will be used more in the future!========== Timetable ========== 0:00 - Intro2:33 - Explanation4:34 - ShaderToy5:36 - Coding Starting Pos6:38 - Square Pattern14:33 - Angle Range15:48 - Repeat Pattern20:32 - Distance23:55 - ID27:49 - Hash Function29:00 - ID31:20 - Function32:15 - Blinking Effect33:43 - Outro========== Social Media Links ========== Twitter: @The_ArtOfCodeFacebook: facebook.com/groups/theartofcodePatreon: patreon.com/TheArtOfCodeShaderToy: shadertoy.com/user/BigWIngsPayPal Donation: paypal.me/theartofcodeFX Hash (NFTs): https://www.fxhash.xyz/u/The%20Art%20of%20CodeGitHub: github.com/BigWings2020/ArtOfCode========== Other videos to watch ========== ShaderToy for complete beginners: youtu.be/u5HAYVHsascWriting a ray marcher: youtu.be/PGtv-dBi2wE
Coding a Bezier curve from scratch! The Art of Code 2022-12-21 | This topic has been much requested, so I finally decided to make a video about it. Bezier curves are used throughout computer graphics and in engineering in general. Most software packages implement curves like these out of the box, but if you want to really get the most out of them then it is good to know how they work, and how you can create them yourself.In this video we make a segmented quadratic Bezier curve that could be useful in all kinds of scenarios. The topic of Bezier curves is much larger than just this video, so in the future we'll probably visit this topic some more.========== Timetable ========== 0:00 - Intro0:32 - Setup10:04 - Bezier Interpolation16:56 - Drawing the Curve24:40 - Outro========== Social Media Links ========== Twitter: @The_ArtOfCodeFacebook: facebook.com/groups/theartofcodePatreon: patreon.com/TheArtOfCodeShaderToy: shadertoy.com/user/BigWIngsPayPal Donation: paypal.me/theartofcodeFX Hash (NFTs): https://www.fxhash.xyz/u/The%20Art%20of%20Code========== If you want to follow along ========== Just go to ShaderToy.com and make a new shader!========== Other videos to watch ========== ShaderToy for complete beginners: youtu.be/u5HAYVHsascOther interesting topics related to this:Tweening Functions: youtube.com/watch?v=pydKWTSGMEMLagrange Interpolation: youtu.be/4S6G-zenbFM

Coding a crazy weave pattern The Art of Code 2022-08-15 | In a previous video (linked below) I showed how to make a basic Truchet effect.

It also covers some tips and tricks to make the final result look cooler.========== Get an NFT of this effect ===============I added log-polar coordinates to make it look more interesting.

Shader Showcase: Code Couture The Art of Code 2022-07-01 | I digital fashion project I have been working on with Isabelle Udo and Lucas Guzman. The idea is to create 'generative fashion'. Since this will be a blockchain project and all data will go on-chain, it was imperative to minimize the data footprint to generate these visuals as much as possible. At this point we think we can fit everything (minus music, sadly) in less than 10k. If you are on desktop and have a decent graphics card, then you can check out the live version on ShaderToy by clicking the link below.If you want to learn more about this project then check out the Code Couture website at: https://codecouture.studio/or follow us on Instagram:instagram.com/codecouture.studio/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y========== Live Version ========== Takes 20 seconds to compile.

Shader Showcase: Megaparsecs The Art of Code 2021-01-02 | My attempt at a spiral galaxy. Made from a bunch of ellipses.I got the idea when I read about new theories concerning spiral galaxy formation. The standard idea of the spiral arms just orbiting around the center doesn't work because it would 'wind up' the spiral with every rotation. This would very quickly (on cosmological scales) lead the spirals to would wind up to the point where they'd dissapear. This is not what we observe so a different theory is needed. One such theory, called desnity wave theory, is that we are actually looking at lots of overlapping and rotated elliptical orbits, which I tried to emulate here. Playing around with this made me realize that a galaxy is just a big vortex of dust, where every dust particle is a star! I threw in some super big & bright stars to make for a more interesting image. There is also the occasional supernova thrown in. Though in reality super novae happen in our galaxy about once every 50 years and since one orbit takes about 250 million years it should have about 150,000 super nova flashes per second if we look at it at this time-scale!Twitter: @The_ArtOfCodeFacebook: facebook.com/groups/theartofcodePatreon: patreon.com/TheArtOfCodeShaderToy: shadertoy.com/user/BigWIngsPayPal Donation: paypal.me/theartofcodeLive version:shadertoy.com/view/WsyBDzMusic: Yearning by Michael fk - Artlist

Playing with Gyroids - Part 1 The Art of Code 2020-03-04 | In this video we'll build something cool with Gyroids. A Gyroid is a minimal surface: a surface that minimizes its area for a given boundary. Minimal surfaces appear in nature as well, soap bubbles for minimal surfaces for example. The cool thing about Gyroids is that their distance function is very simple. In this video we'll explore that function and start building the 'Up in Flames' effect you can see here:youtube.com/watch?v=TTz3aiRpk4sTutorial starting point:shadertoy.com/view/WtGXDDIf you want to write your own raymarcher:youtube.com/watch?v=PGtv-dBi2wEBasic operators, like booleans, explained:youtube.com/watch?v=AfKGMUDWfuETwitter: @The_ArtOfCodeFacebook: facebook.com/groups/theartofcodePatreon: patreon.com/TheArtOfCodeShaderToy: shadertoy.com/user/BigWIngsPayPal Donation: paypal.me/theartofcode

I figured it could be good to use in a game perhaps but since it was made in ShaderToy, and ShaderToy is not used for game development, I figured I would do a better version of the original effect, in Unity! So, if you are making a game or any kind of interactive program in Unity, you can now add a nice 'Rainy Grey Sunday' effect to it ;)In this video we'll code a rain-on-window shader from scratch in Unity.
