SBArt4 v4.8.4 for macOS was released on January 3, 2021.

SBART developed by Tatsuo Unemi is a design support tool to create an interesting 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 3, that takes advantage of graphic processor unit by compiling each genotype into a program of GLSL, OpenGL shading language. This innovation enabled breeding of abstract movies in realtime.

Publication

Working with Quartz Composer

You can export your bred gene to a built-in patch named Core Image Filter of Quartz Composer, a powerful graphical programing environment for visual effects in MacOS X, by copying the compiled code of genotype to the clipboard and pasting it to the settings in the patch's inspector. You can use it to make your own screen saver. The disk image downloadable from the above link includes sample composition files.
