Clone the “Ed” repository (see previous class exercise post), if you have not, or use your own code to draw functions and modify a square-shaped image on the [0, 1] range in width and height using PySide6, Matplotlib, and NumPy.
-
Implement “smooth step” and demonstrate.
-
Choose at least 3 more 1D functions to implement and demonstrate from these linked below or elsewhere linked from The Book of Shaders: http://www.flong.com/archive/texts/code/shapers_circ/, http://www.flong.com/archive/texts/code/shapers_bez/, https://iquilezles.org/articles/functions/.
-
Choose and implement at least 3 examples in 2D such as from the “shapes, color, or matrices” sections of https://thebookofshaders.com/.
-
Describe, show images, and document your work in a pdf. Upload a zip file that has your pdf and your code.
Have some fun — see what you can figure out. Can you modify to have color; multiple interactions of shape, color, or pattern; create something similar to cited art works or observed patterns in real-life environments? Could you implement the basics of a tileable square similar to a Substance Designer network you’ve seen somewhere? Can you replace the 2D Matplotlib plot for 1D functions with a 3D plot for 2D functions? Plenty of room for “check plus” material here.
