The program outputs short gifs and mp4s based on the code you write in the frame generation loop. This video looks at how this works and gives an idea of what might be possible. In upcoming videos we'll use this framework to create some of the gifs that are demonstrated in the Github repository. Link to project: https://github.com/electrocatstudios/generative-art-rust The following crates are used in the project: Gif https://docs.rs/gif/latest/gif/ image https://docs.rs/image/latest/image/ imageproc https://docs.rs/imageproc/latest/imageproc/ minimp4 https://docs.rs/minimp4/latest/minimp4/ openh264 https://docs.rs/openh264/latest/openh264/ Music is Spacesynth by Liborio Conti, available from: https://www.no-copyright-music.com/https://peertube.electrocatstudios.com/static/streaming-playlists/hls/006554cd-dd47-4b57-b7cf-cb56a5e10c66/8e0dff44-0b04-49ec-93c1-4c4aa06ae648-master.m3u8https://peertube.electrocatstudios.com/videos/embed/13QqHR79ezS6Nksnibicr9416002025-11-30T10:01:04.233ZRustGenerative ArtCodingYESRust projectsNOhttps://peertube.electrocatstudios.com/w/8R6UjAJQRs655tfSAqzfAahttps://peertube.electrocatstudios.com/lazy-static/thumbnails/c003ab8e-b745-461a-b44c-1e27a7d6b31b.jpgEpisode 1: Flashing Red Square | Generative Art in RustThis first episode of this series will build on the previous video and show how to actually render an output, in this case a flashing red square, which is the simplest output you can create. Following this tutorial will generate a Gif and an MP4 video of the output. I encourage you to grab a copy of the code yourself and play with some of the variables, which will also help you to get the later code working, which will become more complex.

This time we will be using the trigonometric functions Sin and Cos to create a green square which will rotate around our generated Gif (and Video) in a clockwise direction. I encourage you to grab a copy of the code yourself and play with some of the variables, which will also help you to get the later code working, which will become more complex.

This opens up the possibility for simple color changes over time within your code.

This will allow us to draw more complex artworks in the future but for now we will simply create a simple color changing wheel.

This will allow you to make your own unique versions and run the application multiple times to make one you like, as well as giving you an outline of the code so that you can tweak it to set things like the color palette as you create your own variations.

We alter the way the decay happens so that it fades out with a green hue. We will be back soon with some more episodes but making 7 videos in 7 days has taken a lot of time and I hope to start working on some other projects, please subscribe to the channel if you would like to be notified when the next video is out.

This should make future videos simpler and opens up the possibility of cross-compiling this to WASM, which we hope to do in the near future. We go through the migration of the Cascading Color Wall from a previous video into the new system to showcase how clean the code can be now the code has been refactored.

This episode will show you how to make your own swirling color vortex and output it as a gif or mp4. If you are enjoying this series then please consider subscribing and turn on notifications to be informed when the next video comes out. If you make anything using the framework please consider letting me know so that I can show it off on the channel, if you'd like that.

These make it significantly easier to draw those shapes in your own artworks. This video is an overview of how those functions work as well as a very simple demonstration of how those functions can be called.
