One thing is to keep the animation playing and move, pan, zoom around. Other thing is to plan camera and light movement. Totally different joys.

I'm catching myself designing tracks every time my brain goes on stand-by.

I went to two double birthday parties of sibling with the same age today. It feels like a double rainbow 🌈 🌈

I have a feeling I will loose myself to Blender physics for a while.

Blender is just so nice!

I made another imaginary machine 😂

It looks like a pager and runs a 1D cellular automata with 4 rules operating on a 16 cell tape.

I wanted to design a machine that would display on a LCD screen or even simple LEDs. The idea is to latch the tape on a GPIO port so you can write arduino-like applications on the run, standalone.

I'm pretty happy with the output idea but I'm not sure what to do about input. Also not sure about the whole design, but it's kind of ridiculous, kind of familiar, kind of weird hahaha

Here's a simulator, run the engine by pressing "q":

The chapter on Bruno Munari saved this book for me.

It comes from a place I don't have good memories, (the Design with capital D) but it's otherwise an interesting book!

It talked to me about the emergence of design requirements and I think this is related to solarpunk. To design a technology that requires a "new gestalt" with the planet, all of it.

@RadioAngel Such a beautiful picture! 😍

I guess if you have no idea what this is about, this link can help: https://mathworld.wolfram.com/ElementaryCellularAutomaton.html

http://bananabanana.me/elementary-machine.html makes me think a lot about weaving.

In this video there is an example of a color code program where initial setup is what makes it interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTvvX4sjZWw

In most visualization of the elementary cellular automata, initial conditions usually start with one cell alive on an empty tape. Initial conditions sometimes are more important than the rules.

I think the 256 elementary cellular automata can be simplified even further to use less than 8 rules. And still kind of works!
