So I created an experiment called eye last year Which i thought was pretty snazzy. The end result was cool but some of the more interesting options came about while I was trying to systematize the code. The giggly motion was created using a nasty workaround in flash using a bitmap to generate the randomness aka Perlin noise .

Using a custom pixel font generate by fontstruct I was able to generate pretty interesting type transitions without massive processing issues a la Yugo Nakamura
The caveat is that you don't have access to lower case type but that's not a problem due to the readability issue of a pixel font. It is possible to make it work with all standard Latin type but it would need a character look up table.
It would be quite easy to create this effect for any font out there. This font was originally created by meek calling it The First FontStruction.

After much procrastination, I finally added a download button to most of files. With exception to a couple video pieces almost everthing is downloadble via zip format. Just click on any experiment and a download button will appear below it.
I was invited to do an art piece for the adobe design center a while back. Instead of my usual flash/processing expperiments, I tried a different approach and decided to mess with the after effects scipting editor. you can view the results here.
Sorry folks, I was in the middle of doing a redesign for the May 1st reboot and then I got slammed with work since then. While it's really no excuse I'll have them all ready to download with a fancy new button before the end of August-ish.
On a side note, the weird looking icons under the nav will be a set of new navigation options that I have yet to update.
Hey everybody, this is mannytan's first ever blog for uncontrol.com. you'll find links to recent experiments as well as other noteworthy news and events about uncontrol here. woot!
