The First Project!!!

Wow, this was pretty fun, I'm not gonna lie. I did the Twisted World one where you had to use NodeBox to create some pictures swirling around on the screen. Basically I set up the first canvas to be the size of the picture for the central image. You can either do like Twisted World did and have no central image and just swirl around random pictures or you can have a central picture and swirl pictures around that. I did the latter. I had to download the web.zip file and the coreimage.zip files in order to be able to use the canvas stuff and be able to access pictures from Flickr. I tried to get some pictures from Google, but I couldn't ever figure out how to do that so I just stayed with Flickr. Once all of those files were imported, I created about 20 random layers and took around 50 pictures from Flickr, or however many pictures it could get within about 30 seconds or less. I added twirl, noisereduction, and starshine effects to the pictures that I grabbed. I rotated them, scaled them, and sometimes I flipped them. After this, I chose the central image and appended, or placed, all of these layers on to a second canvas and drew that to the NodeBox screen. All and all it was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed doing this project. Here are some examples of my pictures that I created:








I must give credit to the Twisted World Example found on Nodebox.net. I also must give credit to Flickr for providing the randomly grabbed pictures. And I must give credit to Google for providing me with some of the central pictures!
