DIY-ai-art VS OpenFrameworks

Here's a generative art project I did a while back: https://github.com/maxvfischer/DIY-ai-art

It's not so much about creating the generative algorithms, but more if you wanna wrap the learning around a fun project.

Last year I built an AI-art installation from scratch and posted the DIY-documentation here on HN [0][1]. A big part of why I built the installation was to stir up this exact discussion. To me, art is about emotions and making people feel, even if that feeling is their strong opinion on art.

DIY AI art

I have a question regarding this DIY AI Art project - https://github.com/maxvfischer/DIY-ai-art

This is amazing! I recently shared a project I've been doing, building an installation visualizing ML-generated art (https://github.com/maxvfischer/DIY-ai-art). It would be amazing to try your painting model on top of my StyleGAN.

I’ve also written an extensive guide if you want to build your own installation: https://github.com/maxvfischer/DIY-ai-art

Not exactly VJ, but could be used for it. https://openframeworks.cc

Since you have C# experience, take this time to learn more about C++ while you continue to look. While yes, it is very easy to write bad code, it's not a huge deal since you just graduated and are just hacking around. Plus there are a lot of helpers these days to make writing bad code a little less likely.A former mentor of mine gifted me "C++ Without Fear" by Brian Overland which I can recommend. It's not too expensive, I think it was $25 or something like that, likely less used. Also comes in E-book form.If you'd like a gentler introduction to C++, may I recommend openFrameworks?

Have you come across openFrameworks (https://openframeworks.cc/) or Cinder (https://libcinder.org/)?

Not sure it checks all your boxes, but check openFrameworks?

I recently heard of openFrameworks which should make it pretty easy to make your game. It handles putting together a bunch of other libraries and window management so you can focus on drawing some shapes on the screen and handling user input. Sounds like love2d but all C++.

let me know if I can help out - also checkout the forum at openframeworks.cc - the people there are very friendly and helpful - especially with people that are completely new to oF...

I mean, https://www.libcinder.org and https://openframeworks.cc have been mainstays of the creative coding industry for a long time now. A Rust take on the problem shouldn't be too surprising.
