VeoLuz
A generative art tool visualizing the paths of photons
VeoLuz launched on September 10, 2019 with 81 votes, #481 of 3,296 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 7 years on.
What it does
VeoLuz is an exploration-focused playground and an artistic tool. It attempts to mimic the behavior of photons as they interact with barriers of various kinds − those that absorb light, those that reflect light, and those that refract light.
A generative art tool visualizing the paths of photons, built using rust+reasonml
VeoLuz is an exploration-focused playground and an artistic tool. It attempts to mimic the behavior of photons as they interact with barriers of various kinds − those that absorb light, those that reflect light, and those that refract light. What you see rendered is the "trace" of those photons as they bounce around a two-dimensional world, colliding, reflecting, and refracting. This project is heavily inspired by scanlime's Zen photon garden . Made with Rust, Wasm, and ReasonML. View on GitHub --> Star onfrom jaredforsyth.com

Synthesize TikZ Graphics Programs for Scientific Figures and Sketches2024 · github.com · ▲132Creating high-quality scientific figures can be time-consuming and challenging, even though sketching ideas on paper is relatively easy. Furthermore, recreating existing figures that are not stored in formats preserving semantic information is equally complex. To tackle this problem, we introduce DeTikZify, a novel multimodal language model that automatically synthesizes scientific figures as semantics-preserving TikZ graphics programs based on sketches and existing figures. We also introduce a Monte Carlo Tree Search-based inference algorithm that enables DeTikZify to iteratively refine its…

I built an interactive plotter art exhibit for SIGGRAPH2024 · lostpixels.io · ▲167I'm enthralled with using pen plotters to make generative art. Last August at SIGGRAPH, I built an interactive experience for others to see how code can be used to make visual art. The linked blog post is my trials and tribulations of linking a MIDI controller to one of these algorithms and sending its output to a plotter, so that people may witness the end-to-end experience.
