HE_Mesh

After looking through some of the creators’ works and researching definitions, I felt still confused by the concept of generative art. However, of all the creators I looked at, the work of Frederik Vanhoutte caught my attention. He created amazing HE_mesh works, purely as a hobby which I respect. HE_Mesh* is a Java library for making polygonal mesh creations. It contains no display functionality of its own, but it’s meant to be used with processing. Vanhoutte describes the program as an “after-hours hobby” and is more of a toy than worth production strength. You can see a few of his works below.
