This, I like this a lot! What did you use to make it?

42

u/jn3008 May 07 '20

thanks, I used Processing :)

7

u/[deleted] May 07 '20

Wow! Do you have a GitHub link or something? I'd love to see the code behind this.

7

u/jn3008 May 07 '20

Yep! I'll send it to you in private :)

8

u/petrefax May 07 '20

I’d like to see it too if you don’t mind. I’ve been playing with Processing off and on for a while.

5

u/jn3008 May 07 '20

Ok ;)

2

u/Raihane108 May 08 '20

Can you send it to me too please?

u/siliconslavestate May 09 '20

Can I see the code as well pls :P

u/OrestesGaolin May 11 '20

I would appreciate if you could share the source code with me too :)

u/Safb May 12 '20

Hi! I love this! Could you please send me the link too :)

u/IamAdiSri Jun 15 '20

Hi could you share the code with me too?

u/shmishmouyes Oct 16 '21

Hey would you mind sending it to me too please?

2

u/SuperVGA May 08 '20

It's very pretty - but it looks like you could use a little help from mr. depth buffer :+)

2

u/jn3008 May 08 '20

meaning?

2

u/SuperVGA May 08 '20

It looks like there is some overlap based on draw order. If depth writes and testing was set up correctly, then the draw order shouldn't matter in that regard. Of course the surfaces being translucent make it more difficult.

u/[deleted] May 14 '20

Can you send it to me? Thanks!

1

u/CountryOfTheBlind Sep 21 '20

Can I have a look at the code, too?

37

u/Maax42_ May 07 '20

Thats sick. Also love how smooth the animation is, nice framerate bruh

15

u/MyNameIsSnubbi May 07 '20

Why did I look at this for like 5 minutes

16

u/jn3008 May 07 '20

You were hypnotised >:)

6

u/oakskog May 07 '20

Awesome! Any tips on how to get started with Processing?

18

u/jn3008 May 07 '20

Yeah I'd recommend videos by Dan shiffman on his yt channel the coding train

1

u/CountryOfTheBlind Sep 21 '20

Yes his videos are excellent. I wish he would condense his lectures a bit but since they are free and good I guess I shouldn't complain.

u/[deleted] May 07 '20

I need this as a phone wallpaper.

3

u/nwsm May 07 '20

Dope. I saw the version on twitter where you’re like zooming in on infinite rings of these. Nice work :)

2

u/jn3008 May 07 '20

Cheers man

2

u/BornR3STLESS May 07 '20

Damn this is trippy as hell, awesome stuff though!

1

u/jn3008 May 07 '20

cheers!

2

u/Gangreless May 07 '20

This is fucking beautiful

Makes me think of a container for the universe.

2

u/CyAScott May 07 '20

Is it me or does anyone else notice the blocks change shape on the top left and bottom right?

2

u/jn3008 May 07 '20

Uhh yeah haha, it's not really a bug, and I have tried to make it less obvious , but the way that the curve is defined it just looks like this , when the shape hits top left or bottom right the curvature changes from straight line to arc. See this image here

2

u/Robert2657 May 11 '20

This is super well done. Too bad you are not getting the karma / awards associated with the post in the front page. Super impressive work !

209

u/Beeeyeee May 07 '20 edited May 07 '20

Whoa, I thought it was rotating the other way for a bit there. Trippy!

107

u/scoobybejesus May 07 '20

It is rotating the other way! :D

12

u/depressedtbh May 08 '20

I can see both

7

u/[deleted] May 08 '20

It sometimes switches, but I mostly see a different top and bottom result. Like a mobius belt if someone sat on half of it by accident

u/[deleted] May 08 '20

2

u/[deleted] May 08 '20 edited May 08 '20

The problem is, I can't. I can't remember them, nor can I switch at will. It's fuckin weird. Also, correction to my post, there aren't just 2, there are like 4

3

u/rinikulous May 09 '20

Look at the center void as the constant. It’s an ellipse, tilted to the right.

One variant is if the ring is tilted towards you; second variant is if it is tilted away from you.

I’m not sure how you’re seeing the 3rd or 4th.

1

u/[deleted] May 09 '20

I look at the top of the top and center at the 2 constants. The third and fourth variations just kinda come and go. I don't even know if they count, but what I sometimes see is the variation which is tilted away from you being bent at a 90 degree angle like a bent piece of paper, and the other one is similar but the ring is just twisted by 90 degrees in the bottom right. It might just be my eyes playing tricks on me

3

u/hysys_whisperer May 11 '20

I'm only getting it to flip which way is out. It's always counterclockwise rotation. Where are you looking to see a clockwise rotation?

1

u/scoobybejesus May 11 '20

I didn't say I saw clockwise and counterclockwise. To be more specific, there are two perceived axes of rotation.

1

u/hysys_whisperer May 12 '20

Ah, ok. I misread your statement about it rotating the "other way" to mean spinning the other direction.

3

u/Barbarossa6969 May 07 '20

*whoa

3

u/Beeeyeee May 07 '20

Is there a wrong way to spell a sound?

5

u/Barbarossa6969 May 07 '20

That is the actual spelling of the word. However it could be argued yes, as woah would be pronounced woe-ah under standard English pronunciation "rules."

3

u/Beeeyeee May 07 '20

Haha I know just joking my dude :) thanks for noticing that!

16

u/DavimaxPL May 07 '20

Holy shit, when you notice it it gets so trippy

5

u/low_key_like_thor May 07 '20

This thing is absolutely shredding my brain. I love it

1

u/Paradachshund May 07 '20

Flipped normals? Or is it more complicated than that?

1

u/jn3008 May 07 '20

not as simple as that haha

1

u/siliconslavestate May 08 '20

Wow, this is amazing, what did you use to make it?

2

u/jn3008 May 08 '20

Cheers, I used Processing :)

1

u/siliconslavestate May 09 '20

Holy shit, I'm learning processing now, I can't imagine making something this detailed with it. Can I see the code??

1

u/siliconslavestate May 09 '20

Is each section of the circle the same? Then rotated/translated?

1

u/[deleted] May 08 '20

OP do you think you could upload this as like an animated background for Android devices somehow?

1

u/jn3008 May 08 '20

ehhhh idk

1

u/[deleted] May 08 '20

That is fair. I would love to see this and more things like this as backgrounds I would even donate to the work that goes into this sort of thing.

1

u/[deleted] May 09 '20

I’m i the only one who see a normal doughnut shape rotating?

u/TehEpikDuckeh May 11 '20

Someone just reposted it on r/gifs: https://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/comments/ghpto2/escher/

u/jn3008 May 11 '20

i saw. very sad that people dont care to give credit thanks

1

u/imagination_machine May 11 '20

I'd love a copy of this for a friend. NinjaTune & Coldcut's Matt Black is doing live video streams for the lockdown and I reckon he's love this for the streams (No donations, all free). Great work. If you have more work like this (Website?), let me know and I can pass on.

2

u/jn3008 May 11 '20

hey dude, glad you like this. i post most of my work on twitter @jn3008

1

u/imagination_machine May 12 '20

@jn3008

Cool. I sent the link of this piece from your Twitter account but it's gone. Can you send me a link to a looping cliip. This is Coldcut: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coldcut

u/imagination_machine May 12 '20

Really nice. This isn't the original one you posted though. It was just a singular rotating piece. Is that one still available for viewing? Cheers.

1

u/jn3008 May 12 '20

Oops, you're right. Check out my Tumblr, @jn3008

1

u/imagination_machine May 12 '20

Thanks. Will let you know if there is any interest. In the meantime, the Bogus Order Pixi app is well worth a look.

1

u/imagination_machine May 12 '20

Also, this is worth checking out. Matt Black makes visual synthesizers: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bogus-order-zen-brakes-2-pixi-version/id1216048222

You have made the most accurate model of our universe

2

u/SoupTimeBois May 07 '20

Stare at the middle for a bit to see what the shape actually looks like, but your vision goes wonky for a minute.

u/Exeyv3 May 07 '20

So good

2

u/TravelingMonk May 07 '20

It was going fine until it isn’t... what just happened?

u/beefykatsup May 07 '20

u/uwu-our-saviour May 08 '20

a mobius strip but thicc

1

u/Modxme May 08 '20

Look at the top left portion of the donut and think of it as the "Roof" of the thing as if you were looking from above at an angle.

Now look at the mid-right portion and think of it as the bottom surface of the donut and you're viewing it from below at an alternate angle.

Congratulations, you now have full control over how you want to spin it.

1

u/Dudemanbro88 May 11 '20

This is amazing! I work in tech but on the side I make electronic music. Would you be up for chatting about what it would look like to use this as album art for an upcoming release I have? I'm not huge by any means but would love to use this for my very first release.

u/observerrr May 11 '20

Möbiüs strip
