Perlin Paint / 4 looks

Rendered from this scene

The piece above is the scene: plain shapes you arrange and a view you choose. Perlin Paint painted each of these images over one moment of it. To make your own, open it in the studio, choose Export, then Render, switch Perlin Paint on and describe what it should become.

One sceneThe same moment of the same scene, rendered by Perlin Paint four times. Only the description changed. Pick a look to see it whole.

The prompt

“A toy town on a seven by seven board in plain grey blocks with yellow roofs: clicking a square cycles it through grass, a cottage, a tall house, a tower, trees, a windmill and a pond, dragging turns the view, the windmills turn, chimneys smoke and clouds drift over, with a shuffle button for a new town and a button that keeps the town and the view I have made for a render”

Ask Perlin, the VYBE.ART creative agent, for something like this and it builds a piece like it. Start from this prompt and change any part of it: the look, the mood, the rules, the sound.

How it’s made

Block Town is a scene for Perlin Paint. It is JavaScript on three.js, the WebGL library behind most 3D on the web, and it runs live in your browser: nothing to download or install. It is plain on purpose: Perlin Paint reads its shapes and paints over them, so the description decides what everything is made of.

Make it yours

  1. Open it in the studio, where it plays with its controls, and its code is a click away.
  2. Tell Perlin what to change in a sentence: a colour, a mood, a new rule, a sound.
  3. Bend it with its sliders, or put it on a timeline and render it to video.
  4. Publish it to the community, share its link or embed it on your site.
