Beautiful. Reminds me of the amazing visual art of Adam Fuhrer[1].

Etienne Jacob has similar vibes: https://bleuje.com/animationsite/2024_1/ And quite satisfying.

I've been building something similar[1], but focused more on generating desktop/mobile wallpapers based on a desktop theme.

Most of the designs is build via python-scripts that generate the final SVG's which then can be recolored in browser. Claude + a harness is surprisingly adept at generating these scripts, i guess pelicanmaxxing might be the reason?

Is this a rip of turtletoy[1] content?

Why would it be a ripoff? Generative art sites are like this.

Turtle toy is really neat, thanks for the tip.

What’s with calling AI “clanker”? I’m seeing it more and more, and, honestly, the more I see it the stupider it sounds.
iFreilicht 1 days ago [-]
It's basically a derogatory term for AI. I've seen it used the same way a slur would be used to berate a person.
kdkdiwkdiwzjj 1 days ago [-]
Got that from context; I’m just baffled, really. Seeing people call AI “clankers” is like watching a third grader call another “poopy head”. It’s just depressingly infantile.

It's a reference from Star Wars if you really don't know. People say things they hear, I don't know what else to tell you.

Very nice. Some of these would make great video backgrounds.

Does anyone know about a good toolchain to animate SVGs and make a video of it, preferably preserving transparency and import into Premiere?

Forgive my non-creative brain but who is this for? and how/where can this be used?
LEDThereBeLight 1 days ago [-]
It’s research. It’s not for anyone, until someone who needs it sees it and starts using it.

Looks useful. I was experimenting with making an SVG creator tool that can churn out shapes that go beyond the shape library of microsoft powerpoint -- so my slides can stand out. Things like a hexagon with rounded corners, squircle, swooshes and blobs etc.

Patterns like these are useful as well.

One problem which I've had working in this space is the difficulty of naming specific shapes --- worked up a list in my current project:

https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview/blob/main/gcodepre...

(should be section 3.8.1.1 on pg. 97, not sure, since I need to push up an update)

and I'd be glad of any comment or correction or point of improvement.
