2D Ribbons

2D Ribbons

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.

    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.
