Sample of Generative Type Letterforms

Generative Type Letterforms

toxi_openframeworks · GenerativeTypeLetterforms

Letterforms assembled from a 9×9 stroke grid alphabet (A–Z subset), then modulated by a parametric function (bar widths and stroke positions follow `a * sin(b*x + c)` style curves) and optionally recursively subdivided into smaller marks.

Sample of Gray-Scott Reaction-Diffusion

Gray-Scott Reaction-Diffusion

toxi_openframeworks · ReactionDiffusionGS

The canonical two-species Gray-Scott reaction-diffusion model on a periodic square grid: dU/dt = Du*lap(U) - U*V^2 + F*(1-U), dV/dt = Dv*lap(V) + U*V^2 - (F+k)*V.

Sample of Median-Cut Color Quantizer

Median-Cut Color Quantizer

toxi_openframeworks · ColorQuantizer

Heckbert's 1982 median-cut color quantization applied to an evolving procedural gradient + low-resolution noise wash.

Sample of Pixel Sort (Glitch Art)

Pixel Sort (Glitch Art)

toxi_openframeworks · PixelSort

Per-row pixel sorting à la Kim Asendorf's `ASDFPixelSort` and Karsten Schmidt's own glitch-art Processing sketches.

Sample of Sound-Reactive Particle Field (Synthetic Audio)

Sound-Reactive Particle Field (Synthetic Audio)

toxi_openframeworks · SoundReactiveField

Particles advected by a force field whose horizontal component is driven by a synthetic audio signal: a chain of N sinusoids at different frequencies/amplitudes (the 'audio'), with the audio's instantaneous value plus its time derivative ('beat onset') driving the field.

Sample of Verlet Particle-Spring Network

Verlet Particle-Spring Network

toxi_openframeworks · ParticleSpring2D

A Verlet-integrated particle network connected to its k-nearest neighbours by Hooke's-law springs.

Sample of Voronoi Tessellation with Lloyd Relaxation

Voronoi Tessellation with Lloyd Relaxation

toxi_openframeworks · VoronoiRelaxation

Lloyd's algorithm applied to a jittered point cloud: each seed is replaced with the centroid of its Voronoi cell, repeatedly, producing ever-more-uniform polygonal cells.
