Arb

Arb is an art app that allows you to plant and modify minimalist aesthetic trees in a customizable three–dimensional environment. The purpose of Arb is purely aesthetic and artistic creation in video format, graphic work and 3D printing.

The project's development consists of two parts:

Arb Lab is an internal app as a laboratory to design the seeds from which the trees emerge. The parameters of each seed are decided in a graphical programming environment, where mathematics and human decisions are combined to design the algorithms that will later create the Arb tree structures.

Arb App is the final application that will be distributed for iPad. The user has to plant the seeds that Arb offers in its catalog. From the arboreal entity that emerges from the seed, several parameters can be modified, such as growth, number of branches, proportions, ramifications and other options, depending on the type of seed chosen. The tree can be shared in video format with animations, static image or send to other users and can be saved to modify it at another time. A store within the app gives us the option of ordering a printed copy of our work or a 3D print.

Roles:
Daniel Bravo: Original concept, creative and art direction, flash programming, interface and usability design.

Manu Molina: Creative 3D code under Xcode and Open Frameworks.

Arb V1

The first prototypes of Arb were made in flash with a vectorial 2D representation. Two different prototypes were programmed, one of line and the other based on cylindrical and circular shapes.

Arb V2

The current version is programmed with a 3D engine in Openframeworks and compiled in Xcode for macOs, is for internal use and serves to design the algorithms of the seeds that create the trees.

Internal beta app

The idea of Arb is that it does not use mathematical algorithms for the construction of arborescence or fractals. An internal tool has been designed to manually build the algorithms, designing each tree family combining human creativity and mathematics. The internal app is used to create the seeds and is for the exclusive use of the Arb development team. All arboreal elements created with Arb will be saved online in Arb Cloud where they can be viewed via browser from the app's user account.

iPad App

The challenge of the app is that apart from a minimum interface that uses the indications of Human Interface Guidelines from Apple for iOS, all the interaction with the trees is through multitouch gestures.
