Midterm Project

I focused on how to make a beautiful image by particle system.
(IF you want to see bigger image, click the images)

I made hidden Attractor point and moved points are around that point.

All of particles are running for some points.

Particles are heading to mouse point.

Those two works made by particle system with spring function.

I also made PDF file for print.

It can open at Illustrator for edit but it contain too much line for work..
Whenever try to fix this image, Illustrator make err.

Midterm Idea

NOC midterm proposal

Make images by particle system.

I think Particle system is a basic structure for algorism images. All of lines are made by point. If I make a Particle system use points, it can be algorismic images.

I know this is common work, but through this kinds of works, I want to study how to make a beautifull and meaningful images. After this works I also want to make images by nature algorisms such as L-system.
