SBArt

SBArt is a design support tool to create an abstract 2D CG image based on artificial selection, which was originally proposed as Artificial Evolution by Mr. Karl Sims.

Version 4 is a full revision of the previous version, that takes advantage of graphic processor unit by compiling each genotype into a program of OpenGL Shading Language. This innovation enabled breeding an abstract movie in realtime.

• Ready for iCloud. You can save a gene pool and media products into your iCloud storage.
• The default length of random genotype was enlonged from 5-10 to 20-80. You can start breeding from richer variation of initial population.
• The binary operator and resigned from the default set of functions.
• The default method of selection in automated evolution was changed to Parameter Free model. It is more efficient than the original MGG model.
• Bugs for saving a movie of large frame size in the high-quality H.264 format were fixed.
