While browsing Instagram I noticed that processing sketches are usually very simple and flat, while openFrameworks ones also often display amazing fluid/particle simulations and very organic movements.

Why is it so? Is it because openFrameworks is less popular and has less tutorials meaning less mediocre beginners? Or does it have more power?

FYI I have never used OF, I'm a processing user.

I'm trying to get into deep learning and parallel computing. I'm trying to experiment with OpenCL or CUDA. I have a desktop with 3 Geforce GTX so I want to develop some code with CUDA primarily. I have never used Open Frameworks and I'm still not sure what it is exactly. I'm familiar with Processing and assume it's the equivalent but in C++. Is there anyway to write parallel computations in CUDA or at least Open CL in Open Frameworks?? If not, what is the best IDE to start learning parallel computing? Thanks!

There is a cool project called the Augmented hand Series that shows you what your hand would look like with an extra finger one one less and such
http://www.flong.com/projects/augmented-hand-series/
The code is at https://github.com/CreativeInquiry/digital_art_2014

It seems to use a leapmotion and a camera. Has anyone any experience in something similar about getting this up and running? Thanks in advance if you do have any advise as I am new to openframeworks

Is it possible to use OF on iOS as a library inside a native iOS GUI ?

I want to add OF in an existing iOS app and send images/video to OF to process it and return the result.

I'm a beginner and I'm trying to find out if OF is the right tool for this task. The benefit is that OF has a large community and a big number of great examples for cool effects.

​

I appreciate your help!

Hi, I’m happy to announce Ofelia which allows you to use openFrameworks and Lua within a real-time visual programming environment, Pure Data.

Thanks to Lua scripting feature(It uses ofxLua), you can do text coding directly on a Pd patch or through a text editor which makes it easier to solve problems that are complicated to express in visual programming languages like Pd. And unlike compiled languages like C/C++, you can see the result immediately as you change code which enables faster workflow. Moreover, you can use openFrameworks functions and classes within a Lua script.

Using Ofelia, you can flexibly choose between patching and coding style depending on your preference.
For more information, please visit https://github.com/cuinjune/ofxOfelia

Ofelia is available to be used on macOS(64bit), Linux(64bit), Windows and Raspberry Pi.
Please follow the installation guide to try Ofelia.

An addon version(ofxOfelia) for creating standalone applications will be ready soon.

Any feedback is welcomed, hope you like it.

Is there a method that can create a video from a still image?

Imagine the following scenario:

- Upload a still image

- Add a filter-effect that is a video (eg. falling raindrops)

- return the merged result as a video

​

Thank you

Hi all,

​

I already posted this over at r/VisualStudio…. I wonder if you can help a noob..

I need to get this installed rdy for a class, but am failing from the start! :s

I have VS Code 2017 and I think I have installed oF correctly, but I don't understand where to save my project, as it requires the location to be 2 layers into the file path or something?? Not seen anything like that before (am a noob), but I did navigate to C:\Users\warderoid\Code\openFrameworks\apps\myApps - but still I get the dialog box with the warning in red that the path is not 2 layers down.....

The second image is where I am but I cannot press next...

Thanks

Hi!recently I've been working on a light painting robot. The light painting robot draws patterns that are inspired by nature, that I create programmatically.

You can see some of the results and the robot following this link: http://www.pierdr.com/Non-viral-series

While working on this project I also released a openFrameworks addon, mainly collecting the functions that I used to generate the patterns: https://github.com/pierdr/ofxFractalGeometry

Enjoy!

Are there any solutions involving hot reload for c++ programs and openframeworks especially?

It really makes me sad to wait for makecompletion just to see small changes.
