First up! Processing!
Holy ! Mother ! Processing !
The pictures im attaching are pics that can be done with just processing!

Processing is a programming language & environment for media arts communities.
Teaches you the basic fundamentals of computer programming within the media arts context! Imagine it being a sketchbook only..in coding language . Sometimes its your bestfriend but sonething u just

For example this generative imagine right here 👇🏼👇🏼 its using particles to move around and its a constant repeat of actions right?
That image alone requires around 58 lines of codes here 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 look at this alien language full of confusion yet creates amazing things
How to start using Processing ?
Download the software for free !
processing.org
Its an open platform and its free and its not even a big file since its a platform and you’re gonna have to create the base and content!

Processing is always in a loop as long as you do it under draw().
This diagram is a basic block of how processing works

Look at this simple 7 line code.
Under the setup is
1) size of ur window for the art
2) smoothness of things
Under draw()
Ellipse is just a word for “circle”
Inside bracket is saying the circle should follow positioning of your mouse and the circle should be 80x80 in size

So the image came out like that because the circle is drawing constantly and its following your mouse! Hence nampak macam bila windows zaman dolu dolu tetiba not responding lolz
processing gets alot easier once you manage to understand the basics! I was lucky enought to have professors and friends to help me with problems.
You can also learn basics step by step and tips and hacks with this youtube channel! Sumpah helpful and fun

Also, theres alot of examples online that you can play with! For example i always go online and find other peoples stuff and try to play and tweak with it until i understand them. Kind of like pinterest but for processing

Okay...lets start on unity next ... 🙂🔫
To be completely honest i am WEAK bahagian unity ni haha but i will try to just intro about it
UNITY ni usually is used by game developers but sometimes when a media artist is trying to make their thing into a game based art, they will use unity.
I myself did an application using unity before but like i said im very verryy noob at it sebab it was hard for me to grasp sigh... i salute every game developer ever
BUT! ITS FUN WHEN YOU’RE DOING AUGMENTED REALITY WITH IT!!
Tracking a specific image in order for something to appear, thats augmented reality

That was already a final product but the app was developed in Unity
The only external help is VUFORIA in order to have image tracker.
Project above was also done by my friend and he gave green light to show people.

Bonus: Unity3d is compatible with Maya and 3dMax .
Kalau kalau dah selesa model 3d stuff dekat maya and 3dmax boleh export as fbx and import to unity3d.
Any unity/maya experts out there? Correct me if im wrong!

kkk we gon continue with Resolume pulak kays
Resolume ni software paling best! Because its a program for projection mapping! Pikir la nak project kat dinding rumah ke rumah ke bangunan sekalipun boleh guna resolume! Even this cake tier used resolume
The user interface might be hard to understand at first but once u get a grasp of it, you’ll find it easier
Most VJ might use resolume in order for them to match up the music with the screen. Resolume works in multiple layers (you can use as groups and employ as masks).
Heres a video introducing Resolume Arena! The scale is unlimited!
DJ sits facing crowd
But a VJ sit facing stage!!

Look at this projection mapping inside our lecture theater! (MMU)
These are projections on pillar, separated floors, walls with windows, and brick walls! This was during an exhibition night for Media Arts in MMU as well
We’ll start on Pure Data!! Siapa tahu what is pure data? 🤔
PURE DATA
process audio and MIDI within a powerful modular environment, and lets you combine it easily with video, custom hardware controllers, light shows, and even robotics.

I dont know much yet about this program because i am still in process of learning it 😭
But on this thread i will show how me, a beginner get a step sequencer with pure data!

Because there are no “buttons” or “switchs” in pure data, u just have to create one!
You can watch how people do live coding with pure data! Suggested that u watch it in faster speed lol

This is what i am working on currently! Yeah im trying to create a step sequencer!
Its not done yet because i haven’t assigned these sounds to respective buttons for it to work as a step sequencer!
So there you go! I have my own digital MIDI lol. Made by PURE DATA! i guess my choice of sound is not really appealing but hey for a first timer! I managed to create a step sequencer!
