  1. Long shot, but does anyone have decent photos of these marbled panels by Thomas Kershaw that are on display at London's Victoria & Albert (V&A) Museum?

    Or know a place they could be sourced? (NB. I have contacted the V&A directly as part of my search, and I'm waiting for their reply.)

  3. Experimenting with #marbling on #watercolor paper as a base for a painting. Not sure where I'm going with these but it's fun. Process in alt text!

  4. Three years ago, I was busy finishing Marblemania, an endless algorithmic/generative realtime animation piece inspired by marbling, using softbody physics (but no actual fluid sim) and with thousands of variations and stylistic options...

    This video shows stills of a small sampling of these variations.

    More variations here (and in the #Marblemania hashtag):

  5. Very late to the party, but if anyone in London (UK) is at a loose end tomorrow, then there are some top-notch craftspeople involved in this day of demonstrations as part of London Craft Week:

  7. Really enjoyed this look behind the scenes at Brussels' École Van der Kelen-Logelain. The school, founded in 1892, teaches traditional decorative painting techniques including graining, marbling, and trompe l’oeil:

  9. Triggered by yesterday's discussion about old fluid sims, a short thread with some more examples from that period 2007-2009 to explore fluid dynamics for marbling (well, this one here is more like entering hot "fire" terrain 🥵)...

    A quarter-leather book cover with marbled boards

    Strange to think there may be people who have not seen such a thing. Marbling was also very common on endpapers, stuck to the inside cover and the start of the book to help hold it together.

    Marbling is almost a lost art today; e.g. fewer than 12 pro marblers left in the UK.

  17. @typographica I’ll add to the hashtags because the endpaper part of the conversation is just as delightful.

  18. Most successful bits of a first stab at paper marbling as a rainy day activity. I clearly have some debugging to do—I don't think the paper took up the mordant (the alum used to help bind the pigment to paper) all that well, possibly because I was using our tap water, but I have a few things to try out for next time.

  20. On this day a year ago, I tried to launch #Marblemania, a realtime generative art piece/animation, which I'd been working on for several months and which was intended to be used as fundraiser for my open source work... Alas, it was a complete and utter disaster with near zero interest 😭

    Still, I've got a real soft spot for this piece, for its zen like character, the movements, the huge variance of resulting visuals... Over the past year I've been watching hundreds of versions regulary in the evenings to calm my mind before going to sleep... 🤩

    (I despise marketing and likely that was a big reason for the "failure to launch". A part of me feels I should just try again at some point...)

  22. Long time no see... been working hard to get #MarbleMania finished (plus a ton of other things) and out of my system! This is the last work-in-progress share before the drop (still this month, details TBD).

    Learned so much working on this, and the project confirmed (yet again) having mostly taken the right decisions in #ThingUmbrella architecture/tooling, some of it finally getting put more thoroughly through its paces (e.g. thi.ng/shader-ast, thi.ng/webgl & thi.ng/timestep).

    The piece processes ~5 million vertices per frame, heavily using instancing and most of the work being done by the functionally composed vertex shader (via the Shader-AST DSL) and a CPU-side boids sim for the ~400 cells/droplets and swirls...

  23. Did some #marbling with the kid. Some of my favourite results.

  24. 3M = More #Marbling #Madness...

    This proved quite a bit harder than expected to pull off in #WebGL and required a pretty ingenious way of pre-tessellating the single circle/disc geometry to support these concave shape deformations... Altogether, each frame is ~700k triangles (2740 triangles per shape, 256 instances), animated via vertex shader... 💪

    (See recent toot for animated version...)
