I did some generative art using HTML5 (using Haxe/JavaScript). It draws a target image using “stamps” out of a different source image. Each drawing step gets compared using a fitness function to see if that stamp looks more to the target or not.
It can generate very interesting details. This one uses van Gogh’s Starry Night as input image:
This uses a sketchy looking tiger as input source. It works very well as pattern:
This also allows to create artwork that almost looks like it is actually painted. This one uses van Gogh’s Night over Rhone as input image:
I do want to keep playing with the brush, now I’ve used a circle brush which you can see. It would be nice to have something that blends a bit more.
