Evolvotron is an interactive "generative art" application for Linux to evolve images/textures/patterns/animations through an iterative process of random mutation and user-selection driven evolution. (This process is also often referred to as "evolution
This paper describes how evolutionary techniques of variation and selection can be used to create complex simulated structures, textures, and motions for use in computer graphics and animation. Interactive selection, based on visual perception of procedur
Optical flow is one of the most interesting growth areas of visual effects technology. We talk to the people that invented it, developed it and used it in such films as What Dreams May Come, Mission Impossible and the Matrix series.
In this article I will show how Lenstra’s method can be applied more generally for the transformation of images, and the generation of endless zoom animations.
The library provides a wide range of mathematical routines such as random number generators, special functions and least-squares fitting. There are over 1000 functions in total with an extensive test suite.
