 I use pretty elementary techniques, so it should be pretty easy for everyone to follow. But I happen to really like feedback, and the results of this are pretty fun.– [ddg]

 A few weeks ago, Cycling '74's Wes Smith posted a patch on the forums after someone inquired about how to make an array of hexagons. Cool patch! What I've been finding is that a great way to learn Gen is to take some existing bit of code and try to see how it would be put together in Gen-land. Besides helping my Gen chops, it also gives me a better understanding of the underlying concepts involved.
 This fairly simple patch uses '''jit.gen''' to create the necessary positioning matrix for the always classy '''jit.gl.gridshape'''->'''jit.gl.multiple''' combo. The next step for me is to figure out interesting ways to position the geometry in 3D space. Enjoy! - [http://www.cycling74.com/author/bbracken/ ben]

-Today, I decided to do something simple - but with unpredictable results - as my patch-a-day. I started with a simple "tartan generator", which just samples the input at the current x/x and y/y coordinates to build a grid. This is what you see when you first fire up the patch (and turn on your camera). I then wanted to see what feedback would do, and especially negative feedback. The patch goes from simple colored gridding to either fractal inversions or architectural blocking (in this case, I've got chunky set to 4, fbmix set to -1.267, x offset to .323 and y offset to 7.6). You can't easily predict the results, so it is one of those fun patches where you randomly twiddle the controls and enjoy the results. Have fun! - [ddg]

 The super-secret Cycling '74 algorithm has chosen me today, and I'm going to throw another Jitter patch into the mix (A note to '''gen~''' fans: It's just the luck of the draw that we started with two Jitter patches in a row. Don't despair - there is plenty of audio fun on the way). Today's '''jit.pix''' patch uses very simple means and makes extensive use of the fact that Jitter gen objects work with floating point data in the range of 0. - 1.0 when addressing the position of a pixel and sampling it. When combined with a few trig objects and the ability to sum, wrap, and fold data, there is room for all kinds of warpy fun.
 To experiment with using 32-bit float precision in the '''jit.pix''' object, just add an attribute to the '''jit.pix''' object so that it reads ['''jit.pix''' ''@precision float32''], and you're good to go. Quite a lot of the adorable cruft that I found so fetching about the patch will be gone, but you may find the smooth results considerably more to your liking. In many cases, they ''do'' look more like a funhouse mirror. Please enjoy this patch responsibly. - [http://www.cycling74.com/author/gtaylorrtqenet/ gregory]

 The MGraphics patch-a-day series was so successful that we decided to try a Gen patch-a-day series. The creators of these patches are the members of the Cycling team that develops educational content (internally called the Material Team), so you will get rotated through a variety of viewpoints, patching styles and levels of complexity. It is our desire to add some interesting and understandable Gen content to the mix.

-I'm kicking this off with a very simple '''jit.pix''' patch that I use an awful lot: a patch that does threshold-based binary sampling, then provides offset and jittered feedback.

 In Ben's earlier patch, he did some manipulation of an isosurf - 'cuz that's what he is into. In my case, I'm getting a little obsessed with manipulation of matrices that contain meshes. In today's example, I'm creating an X-axis scanner, and using that to morph the duck model that comes with Max. Basically, if the X axis is near the current scanner location, the gen patcher forces all of the axes to push toward [0, 0, 0]. Sort of like putting a duck through the eye of a needle (or something).  - [ddg]
