Hey folks, it has been far too long since I last posted on here! Part of the reason was due to a shift in focus of the project and due to a need to pound out code. The other part is that my final project has been regularly devouring my time (I’m generally at school working from around 10 in the morning until 11 or midnight, if not later) and that has prevented me from posting updates.

However, I have something to show now!

These are some of my first renders with a (mostly) fully functioning generative engine.

In general, the project has moved away from the idea and concept of the “e-card” into a realm of producing generative art. There is still the personalization and, interestingly enough, more analog input into the design, but I feel that the medium of art pieces represents and presents the media much stronger than an e-card could.

Overall, I’m rather happy with the result. These renders are pre-rewrite, so there are still some slight problems present (like some of the graphics getting cut off with a sheer line), but I’m most glad to see that the system works. Up until yesterday, I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to produce interesting, nice-looking pieces, but now I know I can. There is still much work to do since I didn’t code it particularly well the first time, but that should be easy enough to resolve now in advance of my review next Friday.

I’ll keep you folks updated as things progress!
