Hi all,

 

This is something I was fooling around with in Processing to have particles seek targets to form a shape while the user can interact with them. I wanted to see how far I can get doing the same in Bifrost. I'm including the scene file so you can have a look at the graph. This may be bad habit but I tend to go very low level with nodes to do the sim myself, but I would love to hear if there would be an easier way using more high level nodes to achieve the same thing.

Thanks, hopefully the inner workings are just as clean!

 

I made a new compound that I think is very useful for generative art. It's a node to convert HSV values to RGB, as it can be a lot easier to shift the hue to fade into different colors than working in RGB.

 

Here's an example that determines the point's hue based on its x position:

The compound has 3 inputs for hue, saturation, and value. All of them go from 0 - 1.

Here's an example of manipulating the node's input values:

I'll attach it here so feel free to try it out.
