The ‘Ribbons in Space‘ code-piece have now been through several iterations, while toxi’s vector-library for processing was very useful for testing the concept it turned out to be quite a headache to implement keyframe-style animation in processing (since that required writing an editor from scratch). So, I’ve migrated into my new realtime 3D graphics tool of choice: Unity3D (version 2.0 has just recently been released).
The algorithms and scripted logic has taken a while to translate from the toxi-library but now that it’s done the capabilities of the Unity-editor works like true magic.
This is a screenshot from the process - it shows 3 sets of keyframes. I’ll hold on the ribbons-renderings until the project has gone live.

Feel like sharing any of the old Processing code? I’d love to take a look…

As this is ongoing commercial work for a client, it’s always tricky to distribute source code (even old, previous versions). Once the project is live I’ll have a go at documenting / releasing as much as I can.
