One of these projects is another full visualization of an Dubstep tune (the realization of the 1st tune I showed you as realtime demo at this years Flash on the beach ... http://www.dasprinzip.com/prinzipiell/2011/10/31/beatbox/ Phew! There´s nothing more frustrating if thinks don´t work out the way you expect ´em to. Seems that lastly anyone but me was able to use this little piece of code written in Python by Mr. Doob right from the start. All I got by trying to run ... http://www.dasprinzip.com/prinzipiell/2011/08/03/does-not-compute/ As this years Flash on the beach is coming closer, it´s about time to finalize my latest stuff and experiments for my upcoming session (... 'and hell yeah!', I got lots of yet unpublished things & demos to show this time). In doing so there´s lot of snippets and try-outs ... http://www.dasprinzip.com/prinzipiell/2011/07/21/bending-basic-volumes/ After I released 'Implicit Reactions' a week ago, I decided to stick with  WebGL based raymarching synced to audio a bit longer and keep it rolling. There are still so many things to explore in this field, and while I was thinking of what my possible next steps could be, ... http://www.dasprinzip.com/prinzipiell/2011/06/15/fog-me-fog-you/ Between ourselves: I honestly can say, I´ve never ever had such as strange days as I had the last two weeks! Why? I terribly totally lost focus on things I originally planned to do, just to run into some weird distractions that utterly gone wrong, which I now résumé as ... http://www.dasprinzip.com/prinzipiell/2011/06/06/implicit-reactions/ ...or the like, that´s what you get if you create patterns on a sphere, zoom into and point the camera at it! Bygone times I was a bit too quiet  at this place, but finally I found some time to again start with working out new ideas and snippets. This... plus ... http://www.dasprinzip.com/prinzipiell/2011/05/15/blobsphere/ Being right back from FITC Amsterdam and with an eye toward my upcoming talk at the FFK Cologne 2011 conference, I finally found some time the last days to get my teeth into 'ray marching' (ray tracing done in discrete steps) once again. It was about time to explore ... http://www.dasprinzip.com/prinzipiell/2011/03/22/ray-marching-the-distance/ The recent days I had some time to  tinker with WebGL, and once again, it´s really highly enjoyable being able to write GLSL based shader effects without caring about performance too much. Therefore I decided to take some stuff I initially prepared for my upcoming FITC Amsterdam talk but that ... http://www.dasprinzip.com/prinzipiell/2011/02/21/raymarching/ After WebGL was implemented and activated by default in the newest update of Google Chrome 9 last week, and even Firefox 4.0 Beta 9 runs it as well (and a Safari Nightly build too), I decided that now is the time to give it a try. As for me for ... http://www.dasprinzip.com/prinzipiell/2011/02/07/webgl-excursion/ This year´s gonna be awesome! I personally got invited to give talks at upcoming FITC Amsterdam and FFK 2011 Cologne conferences so far (hurry, you may still get the super early bird tickets for both conferences), as well as going to travel to New York together with a decent lineup ... http://www.dasprinzip.com/prinzipiell/2011/01/22/vortex/
