This week was pretty rough so I didn’t have as much time to work on ICM as I wanted to — and I really mean that, I was super excited all week about my idea, but could only find bits and pieces of time to work on it. So unfortunately this sketch doesn’t fit the assignment yet, and the progress is pretty marginal from the last week to now. Overall though, I’m really happy with how this sketch is turning out, and I really feel like I’ve got a good grasp on the concepts now. I got the rotation issue fixed by pre-rotating the images in processing, I met with Alejandro the resident to clear up my class/object confusion, and I’m really excited to utilize the DOM stuff we’re learning about to add all the sliders to the sketch (stepSize, portraits, alpha, zoom) and a toggle button that pauses or turns on the loop. I’m also excited to test using higher quality base images, since I had originally scaled down to go easy on the rendering, as Dan Shiffman had advised.
Here’s what I have now, and though it doesn’t look all that different at first glance, I’m super proud of the small differences:
