behave-graph VS nodes-io

How does this compare to the open source behave-graph library?

Is Luna based on behave-graph?

I enjoyed reading this. I knew of quartz composer but I never did anything with it.

I love visual tools and I think they are underutilized today. I cut my teeth in ~2005 with Houdini[0] and Fusion[1] which are both heavily graph / node based (and procedural).

Most recently I have been rekindling my love for visual programming and flow based programming and plan to spend some time in January and February doing more research around flow based programming for infrastructure management.

I plan to get this sort of info published on my website which I have neglected for half a decade or more but if you are interested in visual programming you might enjoy checking these out:

Fun fact, a lot of it is open source, just not where you would expect it. During the creation of Clara.io I created over 200 PRs to Three.js:

https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3A...

The problem with open sourcing it wholesale at this point is a challenge because parts of the tech stack became parts of Threekit.com. Threekit.com is VC funded and an ongoing business operation.

I do what I can with open source still, see:

Don't forget behave-graph/behave-flow, the Unreal Engine Blueprints / Unity Visual Script like interaction/behavior system:

Yeah as another comment said, a 3D designer could make this render in Blender, then send you a video recording or multiple videos rendered to different dimensions that you can conditionally fetch on your site depending on the user's viewport width, but as the creator of this animation said in the IG comments, their project in particular was created with nodes. PixiJS is another great WebGL library, as is Three.js.

Some of the tools listed here look like this one: https://nodes.io

"Window" is a generative piece exploring the different densities formed by both rigorous and pseudo-random patterns through wobbly quadrilaterals. It lives as an NFT on the Tezos blockchain through the fxhash platform: you can mint a Generative Token with every iteration producing a unique piece based on a random hash. Here, the hash seed will determine the palettes, dithering, number of subdivisions and control the patterns. It is build on top of the Canvas API with the visual programming tool I am developing at Variable: Nodes.

There should be a tool that works like this: you can create nodes (like in nodes.io, Blender, many other graphics tools etc.), then add as many inputs and outputs as you want. The outputs work like spreadsheet cells: so you can add a formula from the inputs; you can also have "internal" cells in the node for intermediate calculations. In other words, each node is a tiny spreadsheet. You can save them as templates, group nodes together into bigger templates etc. There's a lot of design/planning in a lot of different domains that would benefit from a tool like this. Why doesn't it exist?

nodes.io says there are 9864 btc nodes

If you want to try it out yourself, try tools like https://nodes.io/ or the classic https://www.shadertoy.com/

- https://nodes.io/ seems to be closest to what you're looking for, and certainly looks the most polished. Their visual scripting / node editor is pretty good, but I don't know how it integrates with / overlaps onto three.js
