Acrobat animation with Fermat spiral

This is another little experiment I whipped up using Fermat’s spiral formula. It takes the the Acrobat logo and uses it to create some flower effects. Click on the image below to download a ZIP file including the FLA and SWF file. It chugs a little in the browser so it’s better to view it in the standalone player.

    That is really cool in how it takes on those dimensions. Playing with things like this is a lot of fun.

    Can’t see it without your utils

  4. Hi Lee,

    nice work, can we expect to see you presenting a lot of this examples in the OFFF 2009 Festival???? why not? LOL

    Hi Lee,

    Nice work. Looks great. There’s only one question i have about the script. It seem to me that when var a equals 0, the poly scaleX and scaleY are “-Infinity”, and flash draws a stage size black rectangle with some alpha. I just can’t figure out where this comes from. Can you give me some more details about this?

    BTW, @Lauren: if you can’t see it without the utils, change these lines:

    - remove the import
    - var xp:Number = (Math.random() * 750) + 10;
    - var yp:Number = (Math.random() * 560) + 10;
    - xp = (Math.random() * 750) + 20;
    - yp = (Math.random() * 560) + 20;
    - ainc = (Math.random() * 2.5 ) +0.5;

    Wow! Really nice and only 2.38k.

    You’re as clever as a brain pie!

    haha, Give some crazy coders like lee, some time, and they are going to make flash a “processing” killer.

    come on Adobe, give us a “openGLSprite” class, where we can do crazy art.
