Intro I extracted my mate’s (approximately 60×60 pixel) face from a Facebook picture, and overlaid it onto a depth-map for a similarly shaped face, then used a custom python script to create a 3d wavefront model of his face, and an accompanying .mtl file for the texture. I will create a post soon properly dissecting … Read more

Julia Blend (Animated Julia Sets)Draw Julia set animations by simply defining a 2d line though the complex plane. A Julia set is simply a recursive function or iterative process that takes the form z=z^2+cwhere the initial value of z is a complex number representing a point in 2d space, and c is any complex.The z argument is updated until … Read more

Drawing With GravitySimulation is a great way to learn new concepts. Whenever I’m confronted with some scary physics equation I can’t follow I usually try to find the equivalent concept in a syntax I know. In the following post I will covering a few loose simulations of Newtonian inspired gravity.It’s not true Newtonian gravity as I was … Read more
