Any folk here ever heard of this program? Some one at another thread I frequent PMed me this. Looks a little beyond my pea-brain but maybe some folk here can get it.

http://www.processing.org/

Looks very interesting and very complicated. I enjoyed browsing the site. There are some cool animations in it.

Wow that program is too cool, I've read about the Processing language but haven't tried it yet. I downloaded and will test soon. Thanks, Lyle!
BTW, Did you get into NodeBox 3 yet?

That all just seems so confusing just to edit pixels.Cool program though it is beyond me.I sort of look at this like i look at Blender.Is there easier software out there.Yes for me there is Hexagon.100 times easier to use than Blender and still free.
So when i look at this i wonder how many people could use it.Not me that's for sure.
Wow even Filter Forge is easier to use than this software.

I am sure there are some here that would love to delve right into this though.

Yea; started parallel threads to my node editing thread elsewhere and someone there mentioned nodebox as I recall. I think the best compromise between using both layers and nodes is PostworkShop Pro's result; don't believe all nodes will be a good thing after reading all the threads (here and elsewhere) so I guess a hybrid approach will be what becomes of it all.

Oh crap i started playing with this one and got hooked

I love that effect.

I've done a few things with processing. Some live on my site:

Very interesting RobA. I really like the texture look from way up above looking down.

That is really cool Rob.

These are cool Rob; too bad Processing.org don't let you interact online with their samples. Did install it and toyed with it (Processing.org that is) on my XP VM but had to hose my VM as I do bi-weekly and haven't re-installed the app yet. Might install it on my Win7 but don't think I would have much benifit from this app since coder I'm not. lol

http://www.openprocessing.org/ has lots of examples that you can play with online.

Cool stuff Rob; thanks for the link.

Bees & Bombs (examples of Processing)

He is a master...

Recently re-discovered Openprocessing.org (from an online buddy that shared an email with me). Had forgotten about it and was going to post a thread about it until I re-discovered this one. lol

Still worth exploring.
