I want to do data visualization for the Philadelphia Inquirer. This is my new goal. They don't know it yet -- but I'll soon be working there. I think it's good to set career goals where you'll likely get a lot more stress for a lot less money. Why not, you know?
Anyway, while working on the hypothetical-job-securing portfolio, I was thinking about how nice it would be to whip something up in Processing, and just be able to push out a nice ray-traced render just by flipping it from the every-so-fast P3D to some kind of sexy, sexy, sexy Sunflow renderer.
size(700, 400, P3D);
size(700, 400, "hipstersinc.P5Sunflow");
Whistle whistle! *
So, does anyone want to set up a Trac or something? The code's a bit flaky at the moment, but I would love to get a couple people testing/coding until it gets to the point where it can really, truly be swapped out with the default PGraphics without any surprises.
* "Whistle whistle" is solely reserved for my girlfriend and ray-traced renders.
Update: If you're really feeling adventurous, I've put up a small page on how to get started.
