~7am this morning. it was too cold for me to stay outside very long, only took 4 or 5 pics in the neighbourhood.

I couldn’t sleep this night. I was worrying too much this night and then now I feel really bad and I will surely feel bad about the consequence of what I haven’t done today for some days to come.

untitled on Flickr.

well…

work in progress, i’ve been keeping on coming back to it lately, working again and again on it, and here it’s just a barebone version (drums+inhumane piano), i’ve again dropped things (removed the strings, etc) and just layed out another “idea”, and will take another direction with it . I’ve made serveral versions now, quite different each time, more than usual, I don’t know why this time I keep on working on a track and I haven’t abandoned it quickly, but it’s nice. And it’s just a draft again (that needs again a lot of work), for something to come…

***

tomorrow I’ll try to take some photos, even if i don’t know really where I will be - what the place will look like. thing is maybe it’s just not a good “chance” to takes photos, but I feel I need it. maybe I won’t take any and it won’t possible, but I know I’ll need to walk. today i woke up and felt extremely sad.

David Sylvian - The World Is Everything

from Sleepwalkers, 2010

2012, february 22

Yesterday I crossed a girl’s path. A beautiful girl like you see only once every ten years. I just crossed her path, at a bend of the sidewalk. I could see her maybe only one second. She was arranging her hair when my eyes met hers for that one second. Just a glance.
A glance.
That one girl’s path I crossed… this girl, I will never spend a lot of time silently sitting with her for hours without almost never talking. I will never keep on crossing her path again and again, collapsing in front of her smile each time we say ‘hello’, wanting to see her more, to talk to her a little, but just running away each time in the other direction because of something like fear and difficulties to interact with other people. I will never be surprised when she change something in her fashion one day. I will never spend nights my head in my hands, wondering how I could sort out the confusion. I will never see her slowly fading away. She won’t haunt my dreams for the years to come, and the thoughts of everyday. I won’t never hope during years to be able to cross her path maybe one more time, to have a chance to fix something that I felt went wrong.

Inexpensive and great modulating reverb for shimmery walls of ambience/shoegazer/drone goodness.  Somewhat of a one trick pony for me as I use other verb’s for other applications, but it does big sounds really well. I rarely promote products like this, but it’s too good not to share.

Thanks, I’m gonna test it. I was looking for reverbs only a few days ago. Since I make music on a mac I had only two free reverbs and I was looking for something more suited for ambience/etc.

Le social l’a emporté. Mais à ce point de généralisation, de saturation, où il n’est plus que le dedré zéro du politique, à ce point de référence absolue, d’omniprésence et de diffraction dans tous les interstices de l’espace physique et mental, que devient le social lui même ? C’est le signe de sa fin : l’énergie du social s’inverse, sa spécificité se perd, sa qualité historique et son idéalité s’évanouissent au profit d’une configuration où non seulement le politique s’est volatilisé, mais où le social lui-même n’a plus de nom. Anonyme. LA MASSE. LES MASSES.

from the Tony Takitani OST. 

Okay, so.. I have too many tumblrs. Really. This has been bothering me for a while. (Actually it became its own Hell inside my already not quite sane brain.)

I must stop this madness before I end up with a dozen more tumblrs (and possibly nightmares about it.. no ok, I have yet to dream about tumblr, this is maybe a bit excessive).

So from now on, there will be only TWO tumblrs. (And no, I couldn’t decide myself to keep only one…).

Everything personal: my photos, my Processing sketches, my drawings (that is, if I draw some day again), my music, my 3D models/sprites/whatever, anything devlog or rambling or the occasional tiny outburst of personal nonsense, etc, will go on http://moncerveaudansmabouche.tumblr.com (in case you’re wondering what the french url/handle means, it’s “my brain in/inside my mouth”).

Everything else: quotes, pics not by me (but not too many, I’m gonna post less than before), processing stuff not by me, etc, will go on http://nodalpoint.tumblr.com

THERE. And I’ll try to keep a not too bad signal/noise ratio and add some useful tags.

Case closed! (hopefully…)

Field is a Mac OSX  [& linux] development environment application for experimental code and digital art that brings together the wonders of Processing with visual programming. While there are a great many development environments and digital art tools out there today, this one has been constructed with two key principles in mind:

Embrace and extend â€” rather than make a personal, private and pristine code utopia, Field tries to bridge to as many libraries, programming languages, and ways of doing things as possible. The world doesn’t necessarily need another programming language or serial port library, nor do we have to pick and choose between data-flow systems, graphical user interfaces or purely textual programming — we can have it all in the right environment and we can both leverage the work of others and take control of our own tools and methods.

Live code makes anything possible â€” Field tries to replace as many “features” with editable code as it can. Its programming language of choice is Python — a world class, highly respected and incredibly flexible language. As such, Field is intensely customizable, with the glue between interface objects and data modifiable inside Field itself. Field takes seriously the idea that its user — you — are a programmer / artist doing serious work and that you should be able to reconfigure your tools to suit your domain and style as closely as possible.

http://www.creativeapplications.net/mac/field-mac/

Field is an open-source Mac-based media authoring system, built in Java by Marc Downie of the OpenEnded Group based on ideas formulated at the MIT Media Lab, and subsequently used for a variety of hi-def video installations and choreographic projects. It’s a graphical development environment attached to a high-resolution 3D OpenGL rendering engine, and applications are built on a display canvas with object boxes reminiscent of MaxMSP. But Field is different to MaxMSP because it’s language-based: the object boxes are individual containers of Python code, and the canvas is a flexible, scriptable interaction surface: Python code can draw on it using a 2D renderer, and user interactions and timing markers call back into the code.

There is a sophisticated editing environment for the code, and the canvas contents are version-controlled in a Mercurial repository which Field itself can inspect. Fieldis sufficiently self-referential to be regarded as a meta-environment: for example, click-and-drag editing operations on graphical elements cause Python code to be generated (and, of course, version-controlled). The text of the Python code itself can even contain embedded user interface components. Because Field is written in Java, it has access to all the Java libraries out there as well as portable Python libraries. Field can bridge to the Processing environment, allowing Processing to be scripted in Python and animated using Field’s canvas timelines and user interface components.

Game Mod was a six hour long workshop with the objective of showing the participants that it is not required to understand code to experiment and play with it.

The code to be modded.

A version of the atari game ‘Breakout’ was built in Processing for the workshop. Unlike common breakout games, in this version the ball bounces on all four sides of the screen, so the game goes on forever, without pauses. This way the game can be modified to the point where its original gaming references are lost, and still maintain a continuous and endless motion. (A cool side-effect is that the player can dribble with the ball).

Although the code of the version had advanced programming features, like Java classes, it was optimized for easy reading and tweaking. Which wasn’t so hard to do: the use of classes allows a clear view, by breaking the code into various sheets, each one controlling a specific aspect of the game. Also the variables of classes are usually declared at the beginning: the easy-tweaking bit is the first visible thing on the code. One specific thing I did was to write descriptive names of variables and methods (in a human readable way), and in Spanish, the main language of the workshop.

My experiments for writtenimages.net – a generative book. All these creatures were generated by an algorithm controlled by number of parameters that can be randomized and animated. The look was inspired by amazing works of Ernst Haeckel.

Processing has done wonders in popularizing for designers and artists the notion of using code to express visual ideas. Now, what if you didn’t have to fold the hinge of your laptop to explore ideas? What if it were as near as an iPhone or iPad? (Or, I suspect, other platforms, too?)

PR0C3551N6 isn’t the first tool to venture into these waters, but it looks like it could be the most sophisticated yet. Bring up your device’s touch keyboard (you’ll need some way to tap up that code), and start sketching. Through the power of Processing.js, you can run your creation, for creating generative artwork, interactive interfaces, and other visual ideas. To aid your coding process, the tool highlights syntax and includes integrated documentation. And you can use it even without an Internet connection – perfect for a distraction-free train ride.

Mathematical Mountains - but does it float

These images are excerpts from the bifurcation diagrams of various one-dimensional maps, including the logistic map [third from top], the hat map [second from bottom], and the cosine map [top image]. Each of these dynamical systems model various physical phenomena in the real world. For example, the logistic map is a crude model of population dynamics with reproduction and limited resources, and it is often used as an example of the period-doubling route to chaos. Typical of chaotic systems, many regions in these figures exhibit self-similarity and reflect the order that emerges out of chaos.

These images were generated numerically by iterating the discrete-time maps above as a bifurcation parameter is varied. The bifurcation parameter is plotted as the y-axis (elevation), and at each elevation, the stratified layer represents the attracting set of the dynamical system for that particular choice of bifurcation parameter. Bifurcation refers to a qualitative change in the behavior or topology of a dynamical system as a parameter is varied.

Helpful bookmarklet for those looking for the source of the original image. When you click the bookmarklet, what you will see is an icon ‘?¿’ on top of each image (as shown in the photo above) - click on that icon and automatically a new tab will open revealing a Google Image search for that image.

It may not find everything you are looking for (a lot of reverse-imaging services don’t), but this is one of the more simplified ways of doing so.

Writing code for music may still seem a remote notion to the vast majority of even geekier digital musicians, but as exemplified by the language Overtone, it looks very different than coding once did. Whereas sound code was once a type-and-render affair, new coding environments focus on live coding. They use elegant, lightweight modern languages that take up less space. And they can be surprisingly musical, coming remarkably close to just typing “play a c major chord.”

Lately i want to go out taking photos, I could just take a few.. and today the weather is super crappy so I won’t go out taking photos. Should I punch myself and try to force myself to draw? I’ve been in more or less total lack of motivation in multiple creative areas those last weeks/months… AGAIN… pff. And even posting great artworks on haikyo.fr doesn’t really motivate me. If i could draw directly with my wacom i would be more enclined to doodle more… urgh, and I’m realising I don’t even have my scanner here if I wanna try to color something from a sketch…

first 3D (LOW POLY) model with Blender, not really finished

Had a very hard time drawing this time, as usual I draw very rarely.. so umpf. And also I think I messed with the levels of the sketch, hence the big dirty lines…

(used a photo ref again)

Some test on the iPad with a dedicated pen.. haven’t tried drawing on the iPadmuch more.

A quick drawing of an ugly foetus (with photo ref) - i wanted to digital speed paint a swamp or something to kinda illustrate a shot story by Poppy Z Brite.

Some experiment / drawing with photo ref where I used bits of the photos for the ground and other textures

Reactivating the sketchlog dedicated tumblr? Maybe….

So here’s an aborted Paranoia Agent tribute made too quickly and unachieved. 

I’m gonna post the next sketches, doodles, etc on my main blog instead of here.

two few minutes sketches done this morning, powered by too much coffee

extremely quick sketch, oh.. i’m taking less and less time to draw something. good or bad ?

draft for a maybe illustration, well, at least, *I’ll try* something on the ‘puter based on this sketch.

I might *need* to read some tutorials on digital painting……..

Salliss / photo ref from a suicide girl photo set

quick and dirty line art over a quick sketch i cropped… i need to learn patience and take more time to draw…. photos don’t move. 

Photo ref: “Charm” / suicide girl photo set

I was not sure about putting this drawing online, it’s not perfect.. yeah… not too bad i guess, at least considering, i havent been drawing for so many years… but as it’s a drawing of someone.. in those cases i don’t really like showing a drawing that has such flaws.. oh well. i don’t know, i kinda want to “log” / document most of my sketches here.. 

I quickly doodled over the zombie head for trying out Corel Sketch Pad, but as I’m on my old-old laptop today it was not really useable… switched to photoshop to add a few little things.

a quick little sketch made this afternoon, i was all speedy on the drawing, my hands were shaking, nothing great… pixelated bad quality photo ref from Return of the Living Dead 3.

one of the very few sketches I did from models from posemaniacs.com a little while ago.. this one seems not  too bad next to the others on the same page. :)

some old sketches that I like, from around 2003 I guess (but I’m not really sure) before I stopped drawing, and the only ones from my old sketchbooks that Ihave scanned..

Print your Minecraft designs as 3D models using Mineways | VentureBeat

The open source Mineways program, by Eric Haines, allows you to pick a chunk of your Minecraft world and export it in a format suitable for sending directly to a 3D printer. You can also choose to edit the model using 3D modelling software, such as Blender, prior to printing.

Haines has created a video that takes you through the process of capturing your Minecraft creation and uploading it to Shapeways, a service which will print out your model and ship it to you.

There are plenty of tips to get the best from the software on Haines’ dedicated Mineways page. He also gives you an idea of how much models might cost to print and how best to minimize your financial outlay.

According to Haines, a large detailed model of his Minecraft spawn area measuring 15.0 x 3.9  x 9.8 inches,would cost $633.14 to print in color. This is about the largest color model you can create on a ZPrinter 650 printer (at least in terms of base area). By contrast, a small Minecraft Eiffel Tower model, measuring 4.8 inches high, would only cost around $25 to print, in color.

To make life easier, the Mineways program has a built-in scaling option, where you can specify a budget for your model, such as “aim for a budget of $50″.

Even if you don’t play Minecraft, you can still mess about with the Mineways program, by using maps made by other people, from a site such as Minecraft World Map, which features a nifty Google Maps preview function. You can also buy models of Haines’ own creations from his Mineways shop at Shapeways.

I haven’t gamed much lately. Tho I installed Baldur’s Gate (I’ve been wanting to play it again for years) and Neverwinter Nights 1 with Codeweaver CrossOver on OSX, and NWN 2 for Mac. Currently installing Rift (on Win) to try it, and I’m planning on installing again Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines to start a new game, I’ve been wanting to play this one again too for a long time. And this time I’ll have the community patch. Oh and I installed Morrowind too. There’re some big mods that exist and an Overhaull big patch that makes it look like a modern game. Tried a bit Skyrim on PC also, but I got disapointed utterly by the console controls so I raquitted quickly. I’ll try it out some more later.

Currently not motivated to play Minecraft tho, and still waiting for a Bukkit Recommended Build for my server.

The End. Up until now, it has been a desolate floating island, home to armies of endermen and odd obsidian spikes. The only way to find The End is to go through a natrually- created portal found in a stronghold. The only way to leave the end was to die.

However, with the introduction of prerelease 6, The End features Minecraft’s first fully- functional boss fight. This fight is with Ender Dragons, which were previously unobtainable without mods or hacks. Now, The End dimension will natrually spawn one Ender Dragon.

When in the end, there will be a health meter for the dragon in the top of the screen. Currently, the title says “Boss Health”, but the name may change. Ender Dragons are fairly difficult to kill, especially because of the healing pillars which now spawn in The End.

The obsidian spikes now spawn with some sort of healing beacon on top of them. When the Ender Dragon is close to it, it will regain health. This means that for you to truly be successful in destroying the dragon, you must destroy all of these pillars. Once they have been destroyed, the dragon will no longer regain health. It can take quite a while to damage it enough to kill it, but it is possible. The dragons have critical hitboxes (Hit the neck or head to do extra damage). Once killed, the dragon will drop 20,000 experience orbs. 

Directly below the dragon’s point of death, a portal back to the overworld will spawn. Above the portal is an Ender Dragon Egg, which currently has no use.

Following the portal will bring you to the “Win Game” screen, where you’ll see scrolling text. This scrolling text includes credits and a ten- minute epilogue. 

Upon finishing watching the credits, you’ll spawn in your overworld spawn point. You can play the game as much as you want at this point. Contrary to common belief, “Winning the Game” does not render your worlds unplayable.

Currently, this is all of the information available about Minecraft’s End dimension. Be sure to check out the new prerelease and try the boss battle for yourself! Thanks for reading this article! If you would like to read more like this, be sure to follow Farming Melons!
