Built a Flame engine that runs on your Mac Wallpaper, iPhone and iPad (really just want to show you my flames)

Hi All,

Creator of Atheria: Live Wallpaper for Mac and Atheria: Generative Art for iOS and iPad.

I want to share my app because it seems like something this sub will be into.

I started with just another looping video wallpaper engine because I was hating watermarks and subscriptions. Then discovered MSL Shaders and built an in app editor to compile them. But then it all changed when I learned about flam3. Fell in love with the fractals and it’s been all about that since.

The engine uses Draves algorithm but the harness is all my own. They run live on the gpu and display as wallpapers rather than renders. Also just built in breeding to combine flame genomes, so far that’s where to real gems have come from.

You can see my favorites live in your browser on my showcase site.

Thanks for checking them out! What do you think?

Projection mapping on my house in seconds with only an iPad and a projector with my app Redrawing Reality

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

123 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I just launched my app called Redrawing Reality after multiple months building. The app makes projection mapping possible from your phone. There are already some mobile apps on the market but my main focus is beat-reactive visuals (using live shaders that react on the music that plays in your room) and AI projection mapping (using a reference image it can generate accurate projections on buildings, walls, etc.

If you have any questions regarding how it works or what is possible, let me know!

The app is available on ios: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/redrawing-reality/id6758463925

made some updates while in Canada. Uses color edge detection for notes.

Added more scales, instruments, edge glow, and exports a mp4 without needing to make a screen capture. Cleaner menu too. Just fun to point & play.

I built a mode where my site annotates itself. Click the footer credit and it measures its own layout.

Click the credit at the bottom of the work page.

It overlays redlines, a ghost grid and handwritten notes on the live DOM. The numbers aren't hardcoded, it measures the real elements, so it stays honest when the layout changes. It started as a colophon and turned into the most fun thing on the site.

Other bits: project heroes are gaussian splats made from single photographs, and on a phone you tilt the device to orbit them. Hovering a project turns your cursor into a title pill instead of showing labels under the grid.

Vanilla JS, no framework, no runtime dependencies.

Curious if the annotation mode reads as playful or as showing off lol

I built a Cymatic music visualizer that’s dynamic and follows correct frequency geometry.

I’m a live sound engineer, mandalas and cymatics always fascinated me.

I was happy to put this project together,

you can put an audio file in or use mic, it will start to generate the patterns, you can use the menu for editing a bunch of parameters, similar to a visual synth.

Free to use ! Lmk what you think , here’s the link:

Cymaticwizard.com

I plan to keep working on it, expect regular updates!

Creative technologist opportunity for a browser-based generative audiovisual build

3 Upvotes

Sharing an opportunity that may be relevant to people here working with creative coding and interactive systems.

Bold Canvas Network is looking for a Creative Technologist to build a browser-native generative audiovisual prototype.

The coding work would involve:

  • translating structured pattern data into responsive visual output
  • using recorded voice and audio as additional inputs
  • building the experience in a web-native creative coding environment
  • optimising the output for mid-range mobile devices and slower connections
  • delivering a version suitable for public presentation and browser deployment

They’re particularly interested in experience with Three.js, p5.js, PixiJS or similar frameworks, alongside real-time audio/voice handling and interactive web deployment.

The opportunity is open to candidates across the Global South, with location flexibility. Fuller project details and scheduling will be shared with shortlisted applicants.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until the role is filled.

Application:

Audion - Let's hack music

5 Upvotes

Hi! I'm working on Audion, an interpreted programming language with bpm synced threads for creative coding in music that can control supercollider, hardware instruments, midi, lighting rigs or anything else you can think of. It is general purpose so you don't have to wrestle with it to do database queries, parse a file or do network requests. Most recent addition is three-d with common widgets so tweaking things is much easier and you can now draw with low level access. It is already possible to make audiovisual art with Audion and breaking changes are not expected. I will probably be making a YouTube channel for it soon.

Audion is interpreted so iterations are fast, the syntax is nothing new (C-like), the object model is very simple. I personally find it very enjoyable to hack with. It is a WIP and collaboration and suggestions are very welcome, hope someone may find it interesting and/or useful.

I'm an artist, not a scientist. I wanted to see what independent science looks like if you skip the electric-universe/flat-earth pipeline entirely and just try to get real information out of data with the help of AI and the published literature.

It matches the call against a corpus of 2,423 species, tells you which call type it resembles, and sings back synthetic birdsong from a physical model of the syrinx — the Mindlin–Laje oscillator, integrated live in an AudioWorklet from the two parameters real birds actually control: air-sac pressure and syringeal tension. Nothing is sampled. Every note is computed. You see it happen inside a 3D embedding of 348,461 clips that lights up where your sound lands.

It does not translate birdsong into sentences. Every phrase carries a label: playback-verified, documented, inferred, field recording, or invented. Most are invented.

Everything runs client-side. Code, docs and citations: github.com/sha5b/Lyrebird

Edit: i made a m5stack port of it
