Introduction
The world of art is changing faster than ever before. And with technology continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible, artists are exploring new ways to create and share their work. NFT's have been at the forefront of the evolving digital art industry and forms the basic structure for which to buy, sell and trade digital art pieces and generative art with the rest of the world. To stay competitive and relevant in a digital age, we need to embrace new and old ways of working.
And that means exploring digital tools that can help us be more productive, insightful, and creative. The best way to find those tools is to know where they’re already being used. So, let’s take a look at five popular generative art programs that can help you unleash your creativity.
NFTs and Generative Art
Since the early days of Bitcoin, the world has come to recognize the power of blockchain technology. And while it’s beginning to make its mark in other industries, there really hasn’t been a movement to mainstream the use of blockchain in the arts. Artists are some of the most creative and innovative people around. And their work is uniquely suited to a blockchain-based digital ecosystem. Using Blockchain for digital art has the potential to disrupt the entire digital art industry. It could eliminate fraud, counterfeiting, and the sale of fake digital art. It could allow artists to prove authorship and collect royalties. It could even make it easier to search for and purchase artwork from other artists around the world.
MakerBot
MakerBot is a 3D printing service and software for creating generative art. It’s one of the leading generative art tools out there, and it’s the reason we have so many articles about it. MakerBot has a range of 3D printers and you can use the software to create a variety of different art pieces. You can use the software to create anything from sculptures and organic models to photos and landscapes. MakerBot is one of the only platforms that lets you mix different media types such as photos, text, shapes, and CAD files to create a truly unique piece of art. It’s also one of the few platforms that let you create 3D models of copyrighted and trademarked items.
Autodesk Maya
Autodesk Maya is an industry-leading 3D modeling, simulation, and rendering program. It’s used by people from all walks of life to create everything from architectural models to virtual reality experiences. Generative art based in Maya is an incredibly popular and ever-expanding genre of digital art. The number one feature that makes Maya so popular for other generative art is the ability to mix different media types. Maya lets you take photos and combine them with shapes and CAD files to create pieces that would be nearly impossible to recreate with another tool.
Adobe Photoshop
While we’ve already discussed how to create generative art in Photoshop, it’s worth remembering that the program is a powerful and versatile tool. It’s also one of the most accessible and easy-to-use tools for creating generative art. Generative art in Photoshop is a popular use case because the platform is so flexible, and the artists who use it can easily create pieces that look photo-realistic.
Processing
Processing is a programming environment for artists and designers. It’s been around since 2002, and it’s quickly become one of the most popular digital art creation programs. The program is also one of the most versatile platforms for creating generative art. It lets you create everything from 3D models to interactive drawings and animations. Another reason that Processing is so popular for generative art is the huge selection of content. There are thousands of proceduralArticles that you can use for inspiration, or you can create your own procedurally generated art. You can also create generative music and video using the program’s built-in tools.
SculpteRox
SculpteRox is a program that lets you create models and textures for a variety of different applications. It’s been around for many years, and it’s used by a wide range of professionals to create 3D models. SculpteRox is one of the most popular programs for creating generative art because it lets you create photo-realistic models. It also lets you import a variety of different media types.
Conclusion
Digital tools are helping people be more productive, insightful, and creative. And the best way to find the tools that work for you is to experiment with new ones. Generative art is booming thanks to the ability to create art with software that “generates” new imagery. The programs on this list are some of the most popular tools for making this type of art.
