| . Ideas | |
| - Andy Lomas - https://vimeo.com/93056665 | |
| - Nervous System - https://vimeo.com/187819565 | |
| . Work with your team | |
| . Modify one of today's examples to pursue a strong design idea with the theme of "growth" | |
| - Use code from Cellular Automata, Particle System, or Flocking | |
| . Start with a blank screen and construct an image | |
| . Render your code as a twenty-second animation | |
| - 24 frames-per-second x 20 seconds >>> 480 frames | |
| . Render at 1920 x 1080 pixels | |
| . There are three primary techniques to consider: | |
| - Use saveFrame() to render PNG frames, then compile into an animation in a different program | |
| - Export to PDF or DXF and render within a different program | |
| - Screen capture from the running software | |
| . There are no form or color constraints for Exercise 2 | |
| . You may use any software you like, but the original form must be created with Processing | |
| . Post final animation to the class server prior to 10am next class | |

| - MIDTERM EXERCISE | |
| . Work with your team | |
| . Create a new interpretation of Process 4, 5, 6, 7, 10 of 13 in code | |
| . The interpretation can be "close" or "loose" (heavy mods) | |
| . Explore, explore more, explore even more; make it unique | |
| . Ideas to define | |
| - Starting position | |
| - Quantity | |
| - Range of size/scale | |
| - Specifics of the behaviors | |
| - Add "noise" | |
| - Render qualities | |
| - Export options | |
| . The outcome may be: | |
| - Realtime software (1920 x 1080 px) | |
| - Video (1920 x 1080 px, 1 minute minimum) | |
| - Poster (large format, 300 dpi) | |
| - Object (open format) | |
