Final Project

Open frameworks

I wanted to keep with the theme of the artists Adam Ferriss who uses images of natural surrounds such as beaches, trees and fields , then gives them unnatural hues and an almost physchedelic look. The are interesting to me because they are immediately catching to the eye because of the physchedelic colours but on another level they have natural beauty in the images themselves.
I researched gif making software and came across many different software and websites allowing people to make their own gifs some of the websites I played around with were Giphy and gif.com - they were more amateur but I liked some of the examples I came out with. I particularly like the black and white gif and although it is not physchedelic it has a certain eerie feel to it and also the view point, from looking upwards I thought worked well.

openFrameworks is an open source piece of software designed to work as a general purpose glue, and wraps together several commonly used libraries, including:

OpenGL, GLEW, GLUT, libtess2 and cairo for graphics
rtAudio, PortAudio, OpenAL and Kiss FFT or FMOD for audio input, output and analysis
FreeType for fonts
FreeImage for image saving and loading
Quicktime, GStreamer and videoInput for video playback and grabbing
Poco for a variety of utilities
OpenCV for computer vision
Assimp for 3D model loading
The code is written to be massively cross-compatible. Right now we support five operating systems (Windows, OSX, Linux, iOS, Android) and four IDEs (XCode, Code::Blocks, and Visual Studio and Eclipse). The API is designed to be minimal and easy to grasp.

openFrameworks is distributed under the MIT License. This gives everyone the freedoms to use openFrameworks in any context: commercial or non-commercial, public or private, open or closed source. While many openFrameworks users give their work back to the community in a similarly free way, there is no obligation to contribute.

Simply put, openFrameworks is a tool that makes it much easier to make things with code. We find it super useful, and we hope you do too.
