As a geologist, I happen to think that all landscapes are procedurally generated, though it is in general a slower generation process than the computer simulations. Nonetheless I remain fascinated by both the Earth and computational representations of it, and I really enjoy looking at simulations and art depicting landscapes, envisioning what tectonic and erosional processes could have produced the scene.
One odd thing happened as I was trying to see the software in action. When I clicked on the link to show the software in action https://lingdong-.github.io/shan-shui-inf/ I got a security warning from Firefox. The alternative link https://shan-shui-inf.glitch.me/ did not produce an error. I don't know why.
I think this is the thread:
Web sites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it
uses a certificate that is not valid for lingdong-.github.io. The certificate is only valid for
the following names: www.github.com, *.github.com, github.com, *.github.io, github.io,
*.githubusercontent.com, githubusercontent.com
Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN
I especially enjoyed his "Instruction Manual - Stool": https://drive.google.com/file/d/15M94-hDETjHW4BqbujPpiFcxn4G...
I'm not a guy who gets mad at the inevitable, but I can't help but think the robots are coming for the visual artists and illustrators, fast.
Set your clock because this is 2020, and 2030 will look much different.
It will not matter if you can't tell the difference. The knowledge that a human produced it will be enough.
There are loads of people out there running wacky personal websites on every subject you can imagine. Mine[1], for instance, holds poetry, Chinese translations, a videogame, and an open call for Star Wars fan art.
If you want the real motherlode, go read Kicks Condor's "Href Hunt." [2] That drongo collects and catalogs people's personal websites, so you've got a whole evening of digital feasting ahead of you.
And the first one, the doodle rig caught my attention. One draws a being, a skeleton is inferred and animation is also inferred. That’s pretty cool
{Mountain, Water}
It is strange that all the code is in index.html. I was expecting something like mountains.js, trees.js ...
It is also strange to see power towers in the drawings. Why did you add them? (I guess there s an interesting story in this detail.)
Why? It's about 4000 lines of JavaScript, which is manageable usable in any editor, and it makes it completely self contained. What would be gained by splitting it up into multiple files?
