#136 — Polar Noise Loops
Back
In this multi-part coding challenge I show how to use a noise field and polar coordinates to create a perfect GIF loop.
GIF loop where particles trace the outline of a heart.

In this short Coding Challenge, I demonstrate how to turn a circle (or any shape you want) into a blob and give the edges a liquidy / blobby / wobbly look.
In this coding challenge, I implement the Discrete Fourier Transform algorithm in JavaScript and render a drawing using epicycles derived from the transform.
Using a parametric equation from Wolfram Mathworld (and polar to cartesian coordinate transformation), I draw a heart curve in Processing (Java).
In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to render a sketch into a perfect, looping GIF with Processing (Java).
