Happy Valentine's Day

A very happy Valentine's Day to everyone. I thought I would modify my Bokeh Particle Generator a bit for the occasion, for that special someone in my life.
Hope your day is full of love and wonder.

Bokeh Gen, 5 blades

A more recent version, this time with 5 edges, or diaphragm blades. My intention is to allow the user to be able to set the iris blade number, as well as other parameters.

Just a quick test of a small program I am working on as a hobby. One of my interests is digital film and effects, and the Bokeh effect is one that I find particularly esthetically pleasing. This very alpha version is built in the Processing IDE. In the future I plan to add more light/lens effects as well as environmental effects. Currently the mouse coordinates act as the particle spawn origin, with a crude gravity and timer applied to the particles and their "death".

Tell me, what is this "Bokeh" thing?

I've decided to document my journey through the world of computers, programming, gaming and other interests of mine.  Mostly as a way to journal and archive my progress as it relates to programming and graphics work that I do professionally and as a hobby.  You are welcome, should you feel so inclined, to join me as well.
