About the video: Compound Shapes 1
Overview
“Next, I'm going to show you how to generate compound shapes, such as a spirograph, from a simple shape that will be duplicated and transformed. To do this, I will modify the markers of the drawing with the “translate” function.”
In this video lesson Julien Gachadoat addresses the topic: Compound Shapes 1, which is part of the Domestika online course: Intro to Creative Coding: Create Graphic Objects. Get started in creative programming and learn classic generative design algorithms to create animated words and shapes.
Partial transcription of the video
“In this lesson. we will program a spirograph and configure it using a user interface. First. i'll introduce you to the two functions Translate and Rotate that will allow us to modify the reference. Currently. our reference point is set at the top left corner of the canvas. where we've been working from so far. with the X-axis going to the right and the Y-axis going downward. Through two functions. processing enables us to alter the origin of this reference. allowing modifications to the drawing reference point. and also change the orientation of the axes. So. we will use these two functions...”
