degrafa

The other day I came across Chad Udell’s post about his KulerCreator and it got me thinking. Degrafa could easily be used to create random generated art, especially since so many of the Degrafa object properties are bindable. I grabbed Tweener (which I had never used before) and applied it to a few different shapes and their properties.

I used two circles and set tweens on their size dimensions, as well as some of the gradient fill properties, which creates some interesting effects. There’s a polygon in there and I set tweens to each one of it’s four points. Finally, I threw a bird shape in there drawn with SVG path data. It took no time at all to put this together and the results are interesting. Most importantly, it was easy and was done using MXML markup.

Things could get really interesting with some physics, random colors, filters, easing, etc.
