In Class Exercise

I tried experimenting with the third dimension, and this is what (with Jack’s little help) came to life.

PImage possum;
float increment;
float z;


void setup() {
  size(700, 393, P3D);
  possum = loadImage("possum.jpg");
  increment = 7;
  noStroke();
}

void draw() {
  background(0); 
  possum.loadPixels();

  for (int y=0; y<possum.height; y+=increment) {
    for (int x=0; x<possum.width; x+= increment) {
      int index = x + y * possum.width;
      color pix = possum.pixels[index];
      float diam = map(brightness(pix), 0, 255, 1, 3)*(map(mouseX, 0, width, 10, 30));
      pushMatrix();
      translate(x, y, diam);
      fill(pix);
      box(diam/2);
      popMatrix();
    }
  }

  possum.updatePixels();
}
