Would be nice if the page included more examples of what this is capable of.

#12The good old xscreensaver has quite a few which I really want(ed) as high quality prints, e.g. "Substrate[1]". I never got around to making it render into a file, and the screens were too far from 4K back then to make screen grabbing useful. Plus I was too afraid to bug jwz himself :).
1: Crystalline lines grow on a computational substrate. A simple perpendicular growth rule creates intricate city-like structures.

#13This is a library and CLI for Rust to write generative fine art for print. I wrote this because writing generative art for print has unique problems that I found myself solving over and over again in standard graphics packages. For example, a general purpose graphics library should probably compile shaders ahead of time, since compiling them at runtime is slow. When writing art, I want to see them update as I change…
Is there a Valora gallery somewhere? Your links here show that it's far more capable than the linked tutorial suggests.
BTW following the link to your site in your Instagram profile leads to an HTTPS error.

What do you mean with GLSL live coding? Because you need to recompile after all. I've been wondering where are the non-destructive painting programs, which does not rasterize organic brushes or strokes. Your attempt could work as a base to build one if it can work realtime sufficiently fast.
Presumably they mean something like https://shadertoy.com but native, like the demo scene's Bonzomatic.

Great work!
Do you think it could be suited to do "glitch art" on existing images? I've done things like that in Rust in the past using completely handwritten GL code, for instance: https://axellemanfrini.com/media/Editorial/281115_4_GlitchPl... but it's always a bit cumbersome to reinvent the wheel. Just having shaders auto-reload would be a big time saver actually.

You could ask the original artist/author?

#19Working through the tutorial in the linked post, this initially seems like "nodebox, but less powerful and in rust".
I assume that's not the case at all. Are you familiar with nodebox, and can you explain why someone who uses it might want to switch to this?
Re: Show HN: Write generative fine art in Rust
#20I may get downvoted for this, but why are there so many posts ending with "in Rust"?
Surely the content should be interesting enough to stand on it's own, no matter the language
