Toronto artist and computer graphics programmer. I help maintain p5.js and its WebGL mode. Will probably answer your graphics questions if you ask 👀
now that p5 2.1 is out im working on getting webgpu mode to a point where it can actually be merged into the main codebase (although not publicly released just yet.) Checked another box off the list today, got text rendering working! these are boring screenshots but they're from webgpu!

This week's #WCCChallenge theme is "mapping", so here's a little animated version of one of those planet cross section visualizations. openprocessing.org/sketch/2776397 #p5v2

spent a few hours today narrowing down a weird rendering bug where if you have to adjacent vertices that are aaaaalmost the same in one axis but not quite the same, then tessellation breaks and you get a weird triangle like this

Watching the satellites. A little guy, some faux-fisheye framing, and a lot of p5.strands particle effects in #p5v2

I wrote up a technique I've been working on for stretching text in any font while preserving local details! www.davepagurek.com/programming/...

i have it set up to auto run in the background on boot now, in case *someone* unplugs it while sitting on the server

i had to journey to the depths of hell and back to figure out what flags and environment things were necessary but i got that green check :'''')

Today's creative code meetup was a field trip to Allan Gardens! Here's a #p5v2 sketch of the greenhouse we were in. openprocessing.org/sketch/2722616

Version 2 adds inside/outside detection and gets the nearest tangent anywhere you're inside. Much better at not stretching bars on letters!

made a kd tree to do a nearest-neighbour search to get something like an sdf slope, it seems to have fixed that issue!

We're going to do a bonus mini event next Saturday, the 13th: plein air creative coding at Allan Gardens! Come join us if you're around, and otherwise we'll see you at InterAccess later in the month!

This works a little like 9-slice scaling, where you slice up an image and only allow some of the cells to be stretchy. Except it's more than 9, and stretchy parts have a weight rather than just being totally stretchy or not stretchy, and it's picked based on tangent alignment

I've been experimenting with ways to stretch text only at the most stretchable parts. Not quite there yet but we're getting somewhere!
