I’m currently enjoying ShaderToy. I’ll second nominations for processing and NodeBox. I think plain old C++ and Python and JavaScript are also good places to start for still images. JavaScript comes with the most built-in support for creating and displaying images. D3 is an excellent library for taking JavaScript further.

If you were using a game engine to make generative 3d animations, maybe Houdini (sidefx.com) is something you’re interested in. (Other options: Maya, Blender)

The article had a couple of pointers for GAN based generative tools.

The first, more important question, is what kind of generative art do you want to make?



NodeBox spawned PlotDevice, which is a very nice Python toy for the Mac.

I much prefer it to Processing.
