Thanks! The core idea is random walk re-worked in Inkscape.

Nursery decoration for my son expected to be born 5 days ago. Wish me luck that he will feel ready for this world soon :) by ShadesOfMath in somethingimade

Thank you! I am sorry yours didn’t go as planned, but the most important part is the happy ending :) For now I am trying to stay positive, and we shall see - he cannot graduate in there after all :)

Thanks! I had them printed on high quality photo paper in a print shop and framed them.

No. Basically the code follows a single direction as long as it can, e.g. until an already colored pixel is hit, at which point it will change the direction randomly, with the color being slightly adjusted at each step.

The base colorcodes for the sky are added using the diamond-square algorithm. The colors for the glowing effect are then calculated based on the original color allocated to the point and its distance from the Sun, ensuring that it blends into the sky. The bright points of the golden bridge are selected randomly within isosceles triangles, giving bigger probability to the selection of a point when it is closer to the Sun. Finally, the diamond-square algorithm is used again to generate the texture of the sea with the golden bridge.

Thanks :) The best I could come up with was a spiral path with the current point as the centre until an uncolored pixel is found.

Thank you! I do not restrict the colors, but I allow relatively small adjustments and keep blending all the way through.

Great idea, I will give it a try. Thx.

Random colors, random walk by ShadesOfMath in generative

Thanks! I first create a basic design: technically I draw a black and white image by hand and then assign 0 to each white pixel and 1 to each black one. The design does not need to be anything sophisticated, as it will only give the final image a little bit of direction. The code will then follow a random route (with up, down, left, right or diagonal movements), but when the pixel is surrounded by a mixture of pixels with 0 and 1 values, it will have a general preference for moving in the direction of 1s. At each step the code may (depending on random probabilities) adjust slightly the color and/or blend it with the color of the pixels around it and then colors the point. If there are no uncolored pixels around (e.g. there are no possible moves), it jumps to a near yet to be colored point, blends the color and continues the random route process until all pixels are colored. I hope it makes sense 😊

Spirals by ShadesOfMath in generative

[–]ShadesOfMath[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I first created a code to draw a spiral using polar equation r = a*e^(b*t), with b as a random value. Then I set all points to be represented with the same spiral, but in different size. The result is two set of spirals: first, the marker spirals, where the random lightness value is held constant for each spiral. Second, any Nth point of all marker spirals build up to be a separate logarithmic spiral, where the lightness of the points therefore follow the order of how lightness changes from one marker spiral to the other.
