🌈🎨 Generative Art || Nuxt Canvas Sketch (three.js, tensorflow.js and gsap)

Code Quality Downloads Dependencies Circle CI Version Donate

Generative Art is the idea realized as genetic code of artificial events, as construction of dynamic complex systems able to generate endless variations. This is also a nuxt-module (@luxdamore/nuxt-canvas-sketch) - [three.js, tensorflow.js and gsap are not included].

πŸ’˜ Motivation

I'm introducing myself into the Generative art, 3D art, Visual design and Creative coding worlds.

So, why i can't do this with my favorite libraries and framework? Infact, this is also a module for NuxtJS, it inject the canvas-sketch library with canvas-sketch-utils and load-asset (from the creative coder Matt DesLauriers).

After installation, you have access in NuxtJS (on the client-side) at two things, $canvasSketch (the main module, used internally) and at the method $sketch (it starts the sketch).

Check out the src/pages folder for some demos. Every page correspond to an example in the main website.

N.B.: This is a work-in-progress project, I'm learning and testing new things here.


Setup

  1. Install @luxdamore/nuxt-canvas-sketch as a dependency:
    • yarn add @luxdamore/nuxt-canvas-sketch;
    • or, npm install --save @luxdamore/nuxt-canvas-sketch;
  2. Append @luxdamore/nuxt-canvas-sketch to the modules array of your nuxt.config.js.

Configuration

    // nuxt.config.js
    export default {

        // Module injection
        modules: [ '@luxdamore/nuxt-canvas-sketch' ],

        // Module configuration
        canvasSketch: {
            hideErrorsInConsole: false,
            hideGenericMessagesInConsole: false, // `true` in production
        },

    };

Usage

I'm using the sketchManager, because i think with VueJS it's the better way to remove and clean handlers during the destroy phase.

    <template>
        <div class="canvas__container">

            <canvas ref="canvas" />

        </div>
    </template>

    <script>
        // Page, component or layout
        export default {
            data: () => (
                {
                    sketchManager: null,
                }
            ),
            async mounted() {

                try {

                    this.sketchManager = await this.$sketch(
                        // Settings of the sketch
                        {
                            maxPixelRatio: 3,
                            hotkeys: false,
                            // or you can pass a DOMCanvasElement ex.
                            // document.querySelector( 'canvas' )
                            canvas: this.$refs.canvas,
                        },
                        // Method for the rendering
                        this.sketch,
                    );

                    // Ensure every listener is removed on-component-destoy
                    this.$once(
                        'hook:beforeDestroy',
                        () => this.sketchManager.unload()
                    );

                } catch( e ) {

                    console.error(
                        e
                    );

                }

            },
            methods: {
                sketch({ context }) {

                    // Here you start coding-art

                    return ({ context }) => {

                        // Here you can return some animated stuff

                    };

                },
            },
        };
    </script>

    <style scoped>
        canvas {

            position: absolute;
            top: 0;
            left: 0;
            z-index: 1;
            display: block;
            width: 100vw;
            height: 100vh;
            margin: 0;
            padding: 0;

        }
    </style>
