I've been looking for a video that explains basics of generative art with examples.... pretty much BANG ON - the way you did it!! This video is one of the ideal first steps for whoever wants to become a code generated artist...I sincerely want to THANK YOU for your efforts 🙏

I made my first generative art!! Thankyou for this tutorial!! Will be staying tuned!!

[timothymicah]

OMG I made my first generative art! I have zero coding experience but this was easy to understand and follow. Thank you for this tutorial!

[DanTranquilo]

Dude, that was spot on the best intro on the subject I've ever seen in a video hahahaha thanks a lot!

The best of the best, really a teacher, clear and progressive and a simple way of showing things (I'm in Brazil, thank you so much).

[wissanuuea-amornleot]

exactly, i just search about coding and art, and im glad i found your clip video which light my way to be a generative artist!

Thank you for the great tutorial! I like how you build up to the final result by incrementally introducing concepts one at a time.

holy shit dude, that was awesome! I was especially suprised how easy it is to change a simple structure with the controlframe at the end. Well done, thank you!!

I just discovered this application and its so fun to learn

[siahhighashell]

I wish we had more videos of you coding, was able to follow you easily

[JeSuisNerd]

Fantastic introduction! I've been curious about Processing ever since I saw it used a decade ago for some very cool generative wallpapers. I'm finally dipping my toes in now because I think it will be my medium of choice for building mathematically-inspired laser-cut relief artworks.

Thank you so much you were the first person to teach me so I am able to get into processing thank you so

[myfunde]

waiting for more tutorials like this, love the way you explain

[marc-antoinechoiniere]

Great introduction to generative art! I rarely watch 30 minutes videos but this one was definitely worth it!

[matto]

Great tutorial, honestly one of the best I've followed.

[geoffreyslack]

Great video - used it for an introduction to Processing, very cool program

[Dapps]

This is awesome! Subscribed immediately! So clean and clear!

[Draaack]

Super cool and inspiring, Daniel. I want to jump in and make some art in Processing right now!

[yashgarg]

Ending part is lovely, you are awesome :)
