For this week’s assignment, I create a relaxing bubble blowing scene using P5 objects. Here is the link for my sketch.
At first I played around with the snowing demo presented in class. By changing the value range of the position and speed of the elements, I realized that I can control the moving direction of the elements freely. So instead of let the ellipse fall down, I let them move in a horizontal direction, which somehow looks like bubbles moving with air flow. I at the first stage let the bubbles generate according to the mouse position as if the bubbles are created by mouse.
Based on this basic effect, I adjusted the value range of the speed, wind, and space of bubbles to make the effect more realistic and natural.
After I completed the effect, I further changed the looking of the bubbles: I altered the opacity, size and color of the bubbles add some white ellipses on each bubbles to make light effect. However, I thought it would be more fun if the bubbles are blowed by someone. So I continued to draw a cute figure and changed the start position to its mouth. Thus, when mouse is clicked, the figure will blow the bubbles!
NEXT STEP: Add some sound effect.
This is the demo for my sketch.
