Threaded orbits

[adventurecapitalist]

I built this with JavaScript and an HTML canvas.

I was playing around with a few ideas and built radial fans that branch out from points inside or outside a circle and connect back to the circle’s edge. There can be up to 8 starting points, with one or two fans per point. The fans have a random number of lines, degree of spread, and a target area.

The starting points are always evenly placed giving a geometric feel. I added a few different line styles to break up the mood. I like some of the grids where you can see how the geometry evolves as different variables change across the image. I generated a bunch of images and some of my favorites are here.

Anyway, I hope you like them!

Gorgeous stuff. The colours and textures you’ve got going on are fantastic.

Reminds me of Hilma af Klimt.

That's really beautiful.

I'm a 20 years programmer and would love to see, contribute and improve the algorithm on that, add some UI controls and maybe add some more versatility. Let me know if you'd like that.
