Overview

Working with Generative Color, Texture and Sound in Processing

We will work with advanced techniques via processing to produce generative animation using color (dynamic), texture (sprites) and sound (as input). The teacher will present multiple production methods to the students so they can have hands-on experience and learn how to speed-up their creations, while receiving extensive one-on-one help. Our final project is a real-time, audio-driven animation.

Learning highlights

  • Dive into the possibilities of the computer’s extraordinary feats in our digital age.
  • Work with Sublime Text to edit code and HYPE Framework
  • Explore efficient production techniques with a final project of a real-time, audio-driven animation.
  • Control of animations
  • Use audio as an input source
  • Expand your processing skills
