It has been a while since I made something fun, but today I had an idea that could be done fairly quick. So after a quick test if it actually looked alright, I started tweaking colors, sizes, angles etc. And before I knew it I had a little tool. Just mess around with the controls, and see what happens. You can see it, and play around with it over here.
Already a bit old, but I still find this website to be a lot of fun, mainly because it is so simple and it runs smooth on most computers (unlike some other websites I did). I don’t know how long this website is going to be up since Champagne Valentine tend to change their minds, so check it out on www.champagnevalentine.com or over here. Or just check the video below.
After working on this project for some time (postponing the deadline, client changes etc), we finally put it live last week. In the woods is a teaser website for the first part of a trilogy that will be released later this year (or next year). The original request from the client was to build a 3D forest in Flash, that was not going to happen 
, so I suggested to use a parallax effect instead, combined with a forward motion. The result turned out quite nice as you can see here www.itwpathway.com. Prepare for a lot of loading though, since a lot of graphics have to be loaded for each section.
Latest project. A small website, filled with animations, to trigger people to change to green energy from Nuon.
New video, this time from winter sport earlier this year. I promised to make a video for the guys, so now I did.
Whenever I go on holiday I tend to shoot lots of photos, but in the end I usually pick the 50 best photos and upload them to my Flickr account. So, a couple of weeks back I made about 1500 photos in Cape Town, and selected only 46 photos to put on my Flickr account, wasting 1400 shots. Then I came across this video , and thought, why not do the same thing with all the photos I took:
Today I had my first encounter with openFrameworks. Feels the same as Processing, except using c++ rather then java. I like it.
Today I had to do homework again. Not for myself, but for my girlfriend, Anna Kröger. She came up with the idea of black an white outlines, continuing outwards from a certain shape. In addition to paintings and drawings she thought it would be fun to do an interactive animation. This is where I came in. We came up with the following animation. Hover your mouse over a circle, or click one, and see what happens.
Continuing to exploit my recently found spare time, I thought it would be fun to see what happens if you scan a bitmap in search for the greatest color pixels. Turned out to be pretty cool! Even though you can probably do this a million times faster in Photoshop, I’m still pretty happy with the result. Check the images below. Check my flickr site for more details.
So, how does it work:
It is a very slow algorithm, so I made this video of the process and increased the speed.
UPDATE: made it faster, sorting the pixels had a slow element to it. Now the algorithm is finished within several seconds.
At Random we worked on a game for www.nederlandveilig.nl. The goal was to bring awareness to the 30 km/h and 50 km/h zones. We created a 3D environment with a unique style. By giving the player limited control of the vehicle, we forced the player to concentrate on maintaining the right speed and look out for obstacles on the road. If you want to experience the game for yourself, check it out here. Or watch the video below.
