Our motto is "drop us a line."
Open one of the links below. When the model appears and starts to rotate click the 'let's dance' button at top right.
Use 1|2|3 or left|wheel|right fingers to rotate|zoom|pan. Change the 'line width' in left menu.

- voting for the art director is by active artists
This project started in November 2019 at the behest of my then new friend DougD - AKA DashDotDotDashDotDot.
The question is: Given the data - XYZ coordinates that form a mesh of triangles, can you generate the XYZ coordinates for the contour line that closely fits the original data.
It turns ot that there are a number of methods for doing this that are easy to sart with but not easy to end with. As you will see the project has reached a state where the contour lines are good enough for art even if not good enough for the engineer.
The challenge now is to make interesting things to look at using these techniques. In my mind, I see these as being the art you might display on the large TV screen in your dining area or entry way. Nice things to look at. Things that are friendly, familiar yet different and where beauty and ugliness cone in and out. An important aspect may be that at least some part is figurative. Looking at non-representational images over long periods of time probably becomes less satisfying then looking at things that do represent.
There is much more to be said about the genre. About the technology. About the art. About the next steps. And much much more
But now it's time for bed...
To do and wish list
- Design 'rooms' for these works
- Make the light and models move in interesting ways
- Allow for multiple models
- Allow models to have interesting materials and textures
- Allow the models to be animated
- Play with the physics
- Use what is happening in the scene to generate music
- Allow you to to do even more
Things you can do using this script
