01 / Create

Your art. Your renderer.

Bring the core utilities into your own creative practice. Keep the way you like to draw.

02 / Explore

Make room for chance.

Work with seeds and parameters to discover the possibilities within an idea.

03 / Return

Keep a composition.

Save seeds and resolved parameters as recipes, ready to return to and explore again.

The Artist SDK

A little structure.
A lot of possibility.

A small JavaScript toolkit for reproducible generative art. Use the pieces you need, and leave room for your own way of making.

Explore the repository

A starting point you can return to

Seeded random streams, typed parameters, and JSON recipes give your explorations a repeatable foundation.

Tools that meet your practice

Keep your own renderer, or try the optional WebGL shader runner, parameter lab, and PNG export.

Small enough to make your own

Native browser modules with no runtime dependencies. Start with plain JavaScript and raw WebGL / GLSL.

An invitation to experiment

Make a start.
See where it leads.

The best next step is something you make.
