Thanks 😁

Thank you, these algorithm can be hard to explain !

There are good papers out there that explain it quite well!

Thanks for always commenting; it really helps to have dedicated fans; I promise a longer video on NCA is coming! These models are just complex to train and take a very long time.

:)

Thank you so much 😀

maybe ?

There is a video coming soon on NCA ! like a longer one

Also the reason they don't form more complex forms, and it feels like they are trying is because it's trained on a style loss which means there is no specific image in mind, just a style.

The isotropic one has rules similar to how neurons gorw !

I will do a more thorough video on cellular automata in general

I agree; these are less "generative art" and more optimization methods using evolutionary algorithms. The algorithms are mine, so there is some creative input on my end as to what "brush strokes" (polygons or drawing methods) to use, how many, how fine the detail is, how many simulation iterations I run, etc... I do believe GEN AI as it currently stands is what you are saying, greedy companies stealing from artists to make cheap art for commercial purposes or selling you a subscription. However, as a researcher, I know that I find the generation of art through programs interesting, and art in itself, it is just another tool (and so do other colleagues of mine). I would argue that if I write the code that makes the art, the art is mine. In this case, however, yes, the image is taken from someone else (Van Gogh), and the program merely makes a bad copy with shapes.

Its a method that extracts detail first by optimizing for the outline, then fill sin the outlines with a color using voronoi points.

Yes! I was on holiday for a few weeks so no posting then, but im back and have some big plans. Each simulation used a total of 200 polygons (top right used points of a voronoi diagram)

Sorry, next vid the sound effects won't be so loud

To stop particles going off the screen on mine, I just set their velocity to *= -1 on the axis in question to flip it...a la collision detection bounce. I use the standard gravity function, like you do but without the delta time. As soon as they appear they conform to a matrix of attraction or repulsion values, including to themselves. A B C A 0.7 0.4 -0.1 B 0.1 -0.8 -0.7 C 0.6 -0.2 0.1 This is my current matrix I'm playing with. 3 particle groups obviously, 1500 in each set, though like I said my next step is to try and make some real monsters ;0)

That also works, it really just depends what effect you want, a toroidal world is effectivley an infinite world without barriers. If you want more realistic interactions, consider making the interaction forces equal and opposite (forces matirx mirrored about the y = -x diagonal ) and making the particles polar, so they have negative and positive ends at diffrent angles.

Thank you ! Currently working on the code for the next video :)

In general no, qudrilaterals restric the shape to having harsher lines and wider angles. In general the fewer straight lines and angles the better + quadrilaterals are a harder shape to aptimize as changing one of the points leads to greater variation. Doing it with circles is much better and the painting becomes clearer faster. The largest effect however (for evolutionary algorithms) are the hyperparameters such as mutation rate and population size.

Hahaha maybe the colour got you confused !

Cap

​@adrianpaul7956 if you spent more time learning instead of wasting it in social media or video games it would be very simple for you, this isn't difficult just apply yourself homie

@@CaptainManatee suicidal ass man

​@@adrianpaul7956 Bro is so insecure that he needed several reply comments to one singular comment. 🤣

@@adrianpaul7956 oh wow you really popped off sorry I hurt your fragile little ego lol, carry on keep going you look hilarious

I used an algorithm called Gene Optimal Mixing evilutionary algorithm or GOMEA. It was also written in rust to be fast. But indeed GOMEA is very sample efficient

Yes I need to fix that for the next video!

It is truly a great duck 🦆

Will be making more !

I certainly will make more !

@@sacredcat3222 Thanks for the tip, no idea how this slipped past me since I listened to the whole video before finalizing it.

Done!

Thank you! I suggest first looking into basic coding courses that teach you things like what is syntax, for loops, logic, etc. Then try some very simple programs. This level of programming isnt really advanced so you could get there in a few months of practice.

@@Artilife1 ok I will fs rn I am doing cs50 to get basic understanding of programming in general. Next I am planning to do some math(calculus, linear algebra, probability) courses online, I hope these things make me ready to do these kinds of program's

Praise the almighty numbers !

Yea sorry, English isn't my first language, but you are right !

i think its a pretty good mistake this aims to be educational and quite funny so in type of this videos that spelling mistake dont really matter much

Thanks for the advice , I'll make sure things arent too loud !

Thank you !

Hahahaha thank you, I worked hard on it!

Thanks you for your support, I see you comment a lot. It really is apreciated!

I'm not sure that is possible in particle life, unless I also start limiting the interactions to certain angles by giving the particles polarity, then maybe certain configurations can cause low energy chain reactions. I think the main issue however is that there is unlimited energy in the system, so there is "energy barrier" to break through for there to be catalytic like behaviour, since its highly likely all particles are already in the highest energy state. There are other artificial life systems such as FlowLenia where changes in phase can happen spontaneously. This could be seen as autocatalytic.

Thank you !

Thank you !

Its the ususal rules of cohesion, avoidance, and alignment present in boids. However, the forces are aplied slowly over time in a cumulative fashion, so it takes a while for the alignment and cohesion to happen until it suddenly does so all at once.

​@@Artilife1 May I know what programming language you are using? 🤔

Im using Rust :)
