Fishdraw: Procedurally Generated Fish Drawings

That&#x27;s nuts. Someone has solved the algorithm of fish and this is it.<p>But I thought I recognized his name and workstyle before. This guy is literally a genius. Some other works I&#x27;ve seen before:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;LingDong-&#x2F;rrpl" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;LingDong-&#x2F;rrpl</a> - a &quot;radical&quot; new way to describe Chinese characters as a composition of parts<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;nonflowers.lingdong.works&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;nonflowers.lingdong.works&#x2F;</a> - procedurally generated flowers in style of classic Chinese watercolor paintings<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lingdong.works&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lingdong.works&#x2F;</a><p>And don&#x27;t forget more classics on his GitHub profile:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;LingDong-" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;LingDong-</a><p>including &quot;A programming language for ancient Chinese, and procedurally generated Chinese landscape paintings&quot;<p>I want to see a gallery show in Beijing.... This guy&#x27;s work is so fucking good. It&#x27;s really cool how he puts all the code on GitHub too. Fuck yeah! :P ;) xx

This is just lovely. But I am also tickled by the nominative determinism of the dots on the fish being generated using Poisson Disk sampling.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;LingDong-&#x2F;fishdraw&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;fishdraw.js#L1015" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;LingDong-&#x2F;fishdraw&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;fishdraw.js#...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Supersampling#Poisson_disk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Supersampling#Poisson_disk</a>

The same author&#x27;s &quot;Procedurally-generated vector-format infinitely-scrolling Chinese landscape&quot; is also quite beautiful:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;shan-shui-inf.lingdong.works&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;shan-shui-inf.lingdong.works&#x2F;</a><p>(keep clicking the rightmost arrow)

Love the generated art projects. I just want an art ‘frame’ (display with small computer) that generates new art every so often. Put together a few of the various art ML projects into one product for this.

Does anyone have a good list of resources for people who want to get a get baseline on understanding and implementing procedural generation?

I love the simple style, this is great. I’ve been toying with procedurually generated drawings in Racket and find it mesmerising to observe how much conplexity can be generated from the permutations of a few rules. There’s still a lot of fish to catch in generative art

This is great. Where did the inspiration come from for this project?

Why does this use let and var together? Was I (not a modern js expert) wrong to think var is considered obsolete? Is it because OP wanted to use var&#x27;s scoping rules?

I think this is the first time I have ever seen Glitch used for anything.

This is wonderful. There&#x27;s just something evocative about fish--with their flat side portrait look, and wide open eyes that make them a perpetually interesting subject for art.

A gallery of example results:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;LingDong-&#x2F;fishdraw#gallery" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;LingDong-&#x2F;fishdraw#gallery</a>

I did this procedurally generated &quot;groovy&quot; fishes side project just a few weeks ago (it was a one day project). Not comparable to the work in this link obviously, but the coincidence made me smile.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;neiman.co.il&#x2F;temp&#x2F;fish&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;neiman.co.il&#x2F;temp&#x2F;fish&#x2F;</a>

An absurd and wonderful project!

This is so dope - creating good generators is so hard, great work!

Fun! And since &quot;there&#x27;s no such thing as a fish&quot;, these drawings are as legitimate as anything else you call a fish.

I love these kind of projects. Well done!

Would be cool to have one of these simulated aquariums using these fishes.

1. I like it!!!<p>2. Are these fish real or just real-istic? Not judging, just curious.

lingdong is a awesome. tons of interesting stuff in his github. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;LingDong-" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;LingDong-</a>

Feature request: it&#x27;d be nice to have a way to generate a link to a particular fish, such that it can be generated again.

Adding to my favorites

cryptofish!

amazing.

why isn&#x27;t this an NFT project?
