Just joined Bluesky yesterday and so far, I'm liking what I'm seeing! Will be posting 3D printing projects every now and then but my main thing for 2024 has been creative coding/generative art projects 😊 Here's my highlight reel from a couple of months ago if you're interested: youtu.be/lTOZC5nQKR4

I reached 100 creative coding projects on OpenProcessing.org!

It only just occurred to me on posting that I could equally have made the sea of faces happy to be on camera...😅
Still mucking about with controlling shape keys from #blender using #Threejs

#WCCChallenge "Textmode".
Skipped a couple of #creativecoding lately, but I've been enjoying Blender so much, thought I'd combine the two: controlling #shapekeys with #threejs 😍
