Particle Transition
// June 5th, 2010 // Experiments, Generative art, Source code & tutorials
It’s been quite silent on this blog lately. The main reason is that I have a lot of work for clients (Some great stuff, maybe i’ll post some of that later). That’s good for me, but not for my site. To break the silence, a very small test I made. It’s not that special, but it looks pretty cool, I think…
It’s dynamic, but it needs some pre-rendering. so the sliders update in the next animation sequence.
In short, I create particles of every pixel. I pre-render the out animation of the in and out bitmap with the same Perlin Noise. Then I animate them over each other.
Check the source code for the details 
Source code: ParticleTrans_src
Edit: sometimes the example doesn’t work in the browser (blame twitter, and there ever changing crossdomain policy )

looking good
I think that the particles returning into the image could be a bit smoother if there was a little less blur. Have you considered linking the blursize to the position in the animation? that way you could maximize the blur in the most outer position of the particles, and minimize it when the animation completes, resulting in the particle set having a closer resemblance to the destination image.
No, I didn’t think about that. Thanks, ill try that.
But I think the main problem is that the last frame of the animation is also the frame where I create the particles for the next anime. I should wait till the next frame.

I really want to work with your experiment but cannot get a flex version working from the source you provided. Can you provide a .fla file that uses the classes or create a flex version that includes all the classes used? Great Twitter work too…amazing stuff.
Hi,
Make a new ActionScript project and add the .swcs in the asset folder to your class path.
That should work
