An image manipulation type creative coding example.

Example result with the image from
Gray Tabby Cat With Flowers
http://www.photos-public-domain.com/2010/09/03/gray-tabby-cat-with-flowers/

Feel the cat's aura!

This image manipulation code was made with Processing.

This is revised version of HairiCat.
I featured flowing lines and high saturation in this code. You can see mystique cats aura!

You can use your own photo. You can hard coding the path of your photo image file or you can give command line parameter like this.

/your_processing_installed_path/processing-java --force --sketch=/your_sketch_path/ --run /your_photo_file_path






The 'Processing' example codes.

Please feel free to use this example code under the terms of the GPL.
To see other works based on my code is my pleasure. And my honor.


Example code version 0.3.
