SOME RANDOM DUDE

For quite some time now, I have been playing with breaking DisplayObjects into a grid to sample pixel data in order to create visualizations. I have spent time with this in both Actionscript and in Processing (see project). For Actionscript in particular though, I wanted to make the process cleaner and easier to implement. What has resulted is a slightly tangential project which ultimately makes sampling pixel data easier while offering a whole separate set of features. In its simplest form, the BitmapSegmentor allows you to take a DisplayObject's bitmapData and break it into a grid of individual segments. These segments can then be used for various purposes, including pixel data sampling.

This week’s links is going to be short and sweet. Unfortunately, the upcoming days are going to take everything I have, so I think it wise not to spend much time blogging. Enjoy the links, I promise there will be many more next week.

I will have quite a bit to talk about in the next couple weeks. As some of you may have heard earlier, I have been working on a rather large project for the last few months which is in its final stages. I will make sure to dish out as many details as I can when the time is appropriate.

Until then, enjoy the links.
