Time/Date: Jan 19, 11AM – 1PM
Room: Room 20
Instructor: Oren
Description
A gentle introduction to openFrameworks, a C++ creative coding toolkit.
We will cover:
– how to create a project using the project generator
– some of the basics of the core OF library that are useful for animation and image processing
– how to include addons in your project, e.g. for working with OpenCV
– some parts of C++ that are useful to know for working in OF, such as types, header files, vectors, classes & structs, and maybe pointers and memory management if there’s time
– the openFrameworks documentation and reading the source code
– additional resources for learning
Prerequisites
You should bring a computer, and it’d be great if you could download and set up openFrameworks beforehand, as it’ll save a lot of time if everyone is ready to go at the start.
You can download openFrameworks here: http://openframeworks.cc/download.This page also contains setup guides for OS X, Linux, and Windows.
If you’re running OS X, I recommend using XCode as your IDE: http://openframeworks.cc/setup/xcode/
If you have questions about setting up OF, you can email me at oas276@nyu.edu.
