Today I found a great tutorial for getting started with OpenFrameworks coming from an AS3 background, which is exactly where I’m at right now. I’m trying to expand to other languages for several reasons, specially for creative coding matters. Check it out, I really recommend it to anyone with similar interests: Getting Started with OpenFrameworks by Stephen Braitsch.
I added a bit of 3D to the source and connected it to an arduino. You can control zoom with a potentiometer and z rotation with another. Sorry for the crappy video:
Sources 1 – just the 3D addition.
Sources 2 – with the Arduino stuff (you need to load the firmata example on the arduino for the code to work, and change the arduino.connect() method in C++ to point to the appropriate arduino serial port).
