A quick test render from a weird graphics algorithm I’ve been coding in Flash Actionscript 3.

Since Flash’s video export is rather unreliable, I used Stroep’s ImageSaver class to save each rendered frame to individual PNG images, and then compiled the frames into a video using AviDemux2.

The graphics are generated in realtime using Touch and driven by FFT analysis of the audio input. The audio in question is “Workin’ The Middle”, a tantalising preview from their upcoming album Nigiri, Please, due to be released this autumn… or, this fall, if you’re one of those people.

Inspired by Steve Mason’s awesome Flash sketch tool, I decided to have a go at creating my own. It’s just a very rough prototype at the moment but it’s already looking quite organic. I think it has potential if I ever find the time to continue working on it. I would like to include some basic layer support with multiple blending modes, different brush/medium types, etc.

Left mouse button to draw (colour is simply chosen at random for now).
Z key to undo to last brush stroke.
E key to erase the canvas.

Requires Flash player 8!

Simple test render created with Lightwave 3D.

Update: At the request of a friend I have re-rendered the image at 1920×1200, making it suitable for use as a desktop wallpaper.
