Rusting Pixels

Generative art experiments in Rust. By @jose_edil.

My name is Edil Medeiros, I'm a computer engineering professor at Brazil.

In this account I'll collect my studies and experiments of generative art using Rust.

I'm starting to learn Rust from scratch and wanted to do some generative images for a long time.

Let's do it!

Turned the De Jong attractor from last post into a continuous line using splines.

Cubes, lots of them.

Test run to understand the projection of 3D objects into the paper plane, preparing for more ambitious projects.

It's alive!

Took the day to implement many image processing algorithms and infrastructure to make beautiful images of attractors.

@5422m4n Mt pleasure, keep sharing

[Rusting Pixels @rustingpixels]

@svenbjorn_fi It is a very interesting experiment, indeed.

Even unfinished, think about presenting it on some programming conference. You may get very nice discussions.

[Rusting Pixels @rustingpixels]

Have to agree to my other Twitter personality and put this project on track again!

Perfectionist just hit me hard here…

[Edil Medeiros @edil_medeiros]

Just do it.

[Rusting Pixels @rustingpixels]

Oh yeah! 🤘

[Tikhon Jelvis @tikhonjelvis]

Yeah, I use an IDE: an integrated development Emacs

Day 16 - Circle

Transformation from a square to a circular (polar) coordinate system.

Day 15 - Star dust

Variation of a previous post, this time transforming single points into sparkling shapes.

Day 14 - Tilled gaussian noise

Day 13 - Vanishing

Experimenting with nonlinear transformations.

Day 12 - Shear Tiling

This is what I intended to do yesterday, cleaner tiling. Today I experimented a bit with shearing in the transformation that maps pixels into the screen coordinates.

Day 11 - Layers

The nice thing about generative art is serendipity. I forgot to clean my image buffer after saving the files to start fresh and the images overlapped creating a nice and unexpected layered painting.

Day 10 - Texture and Color

Simple and nice, this is a leap step forward under the hood. I implemented a transformation function which maps points from an abstract space to the screen space. This makes experimentation so much easier.

@5422m4n @t_rec_rs Yeah!
