Of course, being my quirky self, simply starting the task is improbable. With everything else I'm already working on, or managing, or getting through. Ha!
Although, I have been writing notes for myself for the past few years of #Genuary challenges. That could be a could starting point. maybe.

While working on the physics engine mentioned in my last post I needed a visualization of the path they moved on to verify that the collision works right.
And this is a moment of such a path visualization.
I also thought about an interesting image by using some blur on the path or the whole image, or making the path more broken and interesting.Thank you for following and liking my work. And a welcome to the new followers of the last days.

After working with many different game and physics engines I decided to work on my own physics engine and maybe extend it later for games.
During experiments and debugging, I get interesting forms and patterns, that I want to share.
Here you see circles with the connection to the closest point on the wall/line in the middle.
And I really like this pattern reminding me of a mindmap-like construct.Did you work on something and the result was totally different or for another purpose?

For this creation I worked on a brush-like dot that I used for the rows.
For me it looks a little retro and like a carpet. But overall I just decided to share it here.
This and the next renders will have some colors because it's spring and the sun is shining, so I am influenced by the beautiful colors around me.

Back to generative art I created a line grid looking like a street map. I tried curves but I wanted to stick to a contrast to the other smooth creations.
For inspiration of what to try I often look into nature with these awesome structures. Plants, water forming sand but also the macro view of landscapes, mountains and clouds.
What is your favorite source of forms?

It's probably a lost cause and also too short notice, but I'm still thinking about #AlgoApril, which I proposed back in 2022, but it's an incomplete list of prompts and sadly never took off...
https://github.com/algoapril/algoapril-2022
From the readme:
Learning about & applying algorithms and data structures for generative art/design, helping to introduce participants to a wider spectrum of techniques.
Unlike other initiatives like #genuary, #codevember, #nodevember etc., all of which are predominantly using visual/conceptual prompts, the focus of the #AlgoApril initiative is on algorithmic literacy, using technical, algorithmic prompts (of course, with some [visual] references and study materials) without further prescribing how these algorithms should be used. The only aim, goal and hope is for people to creatively engage with these techniques, breaking 'em, hacking 'em and finding interesting uses to create outcomes, which could be considered artistic. Algorithmic layering is encouraged at each turn!
In some sense, this more "bottom-up" approach to creation is maybe alien to some, but the lack of explicit aesthetic or conceptual/artistic goals has the potential to produce a much wider scope of outcomes (hopefully not only visual - audio, text and other outputs are highly encouraged!). There's also hope it could be more educational, helping people to engage with a larger repertoire of fundamental algorithmic tools and then apply & mix them in their own work/practice.
Many of the topics & algorithms selected here will have a more or less known visual representation and we encourage everyone to consciously reject these clichés and make honest attempts to find creative other solutions to visualize/sonify/represent them.
--
In any way, I'll be following the #AlgoApril hashtag and boosting relevant outcomes to help circulation. I'm currently on a few deadlines, so not sure how much I can contribute myself, but might post some of my own prior art related to the prompts...

Here's a hair like structure made with a vector-flow-field added variables for example for the transparency and a circular constraint.
In the last Genuary I made this looking more like fur and I wanted to come back to it.
Also, my hair looks a little like this. ;)In the last days I think of combining these artistic structures with a game. So maybe a character running with such a flow field behind him or transitions made with the dithering I made some time ago.
Would you play and look into such a game?

When I started on #Mastodon I just posted some sentences about what I had in mind. Then I learned about #Genuary at the beginning of 2023 in this community and joined it, posted the results and interacted a lot with others, with you.
Now, three years later, I shared my progress in #Sculpting with #Blender, the #Inktober drawings and the Genuary 2026.
And now for the first time I share my creations regulary since February instead of collecting the on my drive and showing them only my family and friends.
It's amazing. Kind and often very detailed feedback, questions and thoughts.
And now 150 of you genious minds and friendly companions are following my art!
It wasn't my goal to gain followers at any time but it is always nice to see that I'm going a path that I love and you, too.
So: THANK YOU!

The last post is the minimalistic creation of the same code of this one.
Here I overstretched every variable but for me it is special because it shows the similarity of circle and star and waves.
What do you see? Star, circle or space?

Now the music is in its flow, so I have time to come back to drawing and generative arts.
Today, I picked sine and cosine and combined them with some alpha values. I have many results and I will post some others of this session, too.
But here's a circle with a sine wave as the radius and this looped while changing radius and phase.
It's all coded by myself. I used mathematical functions to create this piece of art. And no AI.

2026 Genuary Wrap
This was my first time participating in Genuary. Here are some reflections about the experience.
Scheduled Work Means Work Gets Done
My long-standing journal practice has taught me about the out-sized power of small, incremental work completed on a schedule. And the Genuary work provided similar benefits. The main benefit, of course, is simply finishing thi

Finally, here's my largest compilation of code generated art that I made for #genuary.
(Context: https://genuary.art/ is an idea each day in January for making art using code).
I've made each of these with the #Hydra video synth software, to improve my knowledge of it so that I can do more livecoding performances this year.

For #genuary9 and #genuary29 I used #Strudel to create a musical interpretation. (So turn the sound on for this one). Context: https://genuary.art/ is an idea each day in January for making art using code. (Yes it's taken me quite a while to complete these compilation videos!) #genuary

When watching comics I was always faszinated of the dithering.
Here I coded a dithering selection depending on a noise pattern but open for using with every other pattern.
Now I think about improving it and using it for the shading of 3D models. That could look interesting and be combined with toon shaders.

After some storm, rain and a running nose I am back with some pieces of art I made since #Genuary. Thank you for the likes, re-toots and the new follower while I was away.
Here's an experimental creation of a three dimensional model transformed into pixel art and turned into a black and white color range. Still working on sharper edges but I think it's already time to show you.
Do you like pixel art?

Very late #genuary30: Its not a bug, its a feature.
This "flower" pattern happened by accident when I was tuning the red circle positioning in my P2 Penrose tiling implementation in GLSL (the blue ones are correct) 🙂

I'm going to complete #Genuary2026 throughout the year instead of in #Genuary, because I can.
#Genuary24 "perfectionist's nightmare"
Adapted from John Maeda's “Dots” (1996)
Aside from a 1% chance for each shape to be different, there are some imperfections that become apparent when it's shifted to color mode and the row count is decreased. I made it interactive, and it works on mobile. View the code and try it out here:

#genuary is over. Time to reintroduce to my family, go back to work, shave...
Again, it was a most inspiring experience, especially diving into shaders which cost me a remarkable amount of time and distracted me from some other prompts. Nevermind. I have 11 more months now to work myself through the Perlin noise function.
Thanks to the team for inventing and publishing the inspiring pprompts and to the contributors for the beautiful, admirable , cool, funny, original... pics and sketches! I hope it won't take a year to see more from your work.

#31 GLSL Shader. Alternative creation.
This is another output during the play with values of the GLSL prompt for Genuary. Just posting those alternative renders I also liked.
It could have been also a post for "It's not a bug, it's a feature".Do you like the other creation more than this one?
