Processing sketch designed to generate and render wave interference patterns. It is intended to visualize the analogy between such patterns and the culture of a company.
Each wave generator is given a random name. Wave generators can be dragged around the image, added, erased, etc. The wave pattern can be visualized in 3D or 2D in different color schemas. The view can be rotated around the X-axis, flattened, etc.
This sketch was written for the sole purpose of creating the imagery used for an article about company culture on my CoderHood blog.
Requires Processing 3 to run.
- Download and install Processing 3.
- Load this sketch and run it. You'll see a basic interference with 5 generators.
- Press "i" to get a short list of commands that you can use (combination of mouse gestures and keys).
- Known issue with selection of members when the view is rotated. Will fix it as some point if anybody cares. It has to do with determining the model coordinates of a mouse click on the Z=0 plane.
- You need a mouse with a wheel and a keyboard to run this properly.
- This sketch is not mobile-friendly.
- Instructions are very basic.
- Add a few members by pressing [SHIFT]+[LEFT-MOUSE-CLICK].
- Click on them and move them around.
- Zoom using the mouse wheel (or [SHIFT]+[UP]/[DOWN]) and Drag the view around to explore (or use arrow keys).
- Change color schema with TAB.
- Press [SHIFT]+[Mouse wheel] to rotate.
- Press [H] to toggle hide members.
- Press [COMMAND/WIN/META]+[S] to save the wave.
- Press [COMMAND/WIN/META]+[L] to load a wave.
- Press [I] to get more instructions.
