For this project, I was excited to explore different types of curves and how you can create new ones through simple interactions. I started off my process by looking at and trying different curves in Sublime to see which ones were the most interesting to change. I also spent some time plugging mouseX and mouseY into different parts of the equation to see how they changed. I found it interesting that curves can look completely different based on which variables were changed. For instance, I used a Cayley’s Sextic curve for one of my curves, which looks like a rounded heart. However, when you control the ratio multiplied by cosine, it changes the number of curves and their rotation so it looks like a flower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
