Vincent Van Goghs “Starry Night” Animated

Scot Trodick — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 18:37:08 +0000

Petros Vrellis has created an interactive visualisation and synthesizer that animates Vincent Van Goghs “Starry Night”, using openframeworks to create a simple and elegant interaction. A fluid simulation gently creates a flowing fabric from Van Goghs impressionist portrait of the Milky Way and night sky over Saint-Rémy in France using the thick paint daubs as the particles within the fluid.

A touch interface allows a viewer to deform the image, altering both the flow of the particles and the synthesized sound, and then watch it slowly return to its original state. The sound itself is created using a MIDI interface to create a soft ambient tone out of the movement of the fluid

I love the game stronghold 2. Of all the games I have played, this Medieval RTS (Real Time Strategy) stands above all the rest. The links from the website that go to where you can buy this game do not work, but I have seen this game as cheap as $10 at stores like Target. Game website: http://www.2kgames.com/stronghold2/
