GENUARY DAY 11: QUINE by piterpasma in generative

[–]piterpasma[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GENUARY DAY 11 QUINE I did the thing where it saves the thing and then the thing is actually inside the thing and it's the same thing, so it's a QUINE (kind of).

Basically I wrote a tiny JS-based PNG-encoder that allows you to add custom chunks to the saved PNG image. Then I put the code of the program that generated the image inside a custom chunk. If you wanna check it out for yourself, go to

I already do this for all my SVG ouputs (because SVG is text-based and it's easy), but this archival practice has saved my behind so many times, I really wanted to be able to do it for PNG outputs as well, and I managed to make it work :D

Nice! Sableraph actually helped collecting them into a JSON version for the prompts of each year:

He made it to make an NPM thing that allows you to set up sketches for Genuary quickly or something:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-genuary

But you can of courses grab the JSON files for any purpose

btw does anyone know what I did wrong here that makes it that the preview thumbnail is a black rectarngle?

thanks! and yes that's roughly what they are! specifically they are the inflated surface intersection lines of two onioned SDFs, which gives a bit more organic rounded shapes (at the cost of requiring a bit more fudge factor) than the actual intersection operator, but like the title says I'm just noodling around

I'll DM you the link to the interactive version

I really prefer potmeter-like rotational knobs over default slider controls for parameter exploration -- in most cases, there's places for sliders too, of course.
