I’ve been toying around with Eric Natzke’s Ribbon code and have managed to port it over to Processing in 2D form. Although the result and code are both very different to that of Natzke, it retains the original technique for building the ribbons. You can play with it and download the source here.
More ribbons can be added by changing the ribbonAmount variable. The colours are chosen from an image, in this case, “rothko_01.jpg”. This must be kept in the same folder as the pde files or there will be an error.
thx for posting the source…. looking forward to playing around with it.
Thanks man! for posting the code-parts & for your vision on learning. Just got the parts together and am enjoying a single ribbon, following a yellow bottle right now
*and I only installed Processing a few hours ago… you wrote some clear code

Keep up the creative thinking!
Kind regards,
J.
Hey, thanks for the code!
I have created something with it, check it out here: http://jameskeane.ca/programming/spectrum
Very nice James. Always great to see people making cool things with my code. Well done.
OMG, this is what I`we been looking for soooo long!! Thank you very much! I quess it`s going to be little sleeping next night ; ) This is been too easy for so far because of you guys.
I just wonder am I able to pick the color from background image more accurate?
I mean way it is done in “pointillism ” example?? I think Erik has some kind of trick here in flash code. In hes brush the color is chancing very nicely..
Anyway thank you “supermuch”!!
