  ORBITALS.VARIATION B

  The Orbitals is a collection of particles operating on one simple rule: choose another particle in the system and orbit it with a fixed radius at a constant velocity. This is variation B (see Orbitals Variation A).In this variation, a single root particle is instantiated in the center of the stage.

  ORBITALS.VARIATION A

  The Orbitals is a collection of particles operating on one simple rule: choose another particle in the system and orbit it with a fixed radius at a constant velocity. This is variation A (see Orbitals Variation B).To set the rendering stage, particles are randomly introduced into the system.

  BUDDHA.BROT

  The Buddhabrot Set is a re-visualization of the familiar Mandelbrot Set using a technique invented by Melinda Green. Instead of selecting points on the real-complex plane, initial points are selected at random from the image region.

• 

  LIMB.STROKE.VARIATION.D

  Variation D explores momentary exposures and a more detailed stroke across each limb. 0000 Short exposure, reduced 50% and cropped 0001 Shorter exposure, reduced 50% and cropped

  LIMB.STROKE.VARIATION.C

  Further refinement 0005 0002

• 

  LIMB.STROKE.VARIATION.B

  A nice set of value ranges was discovered in variation A and examined in more detail here. Instead of rendering an entire field of limb structures, we render only one.

• 

  LIMB.STROKE.VARIATION.A

  The Limb Stroke is an interesting generative painting system based on the radial motions of recursive limb structures. 1001 1000

• 

  LIMB.STRAT

  The limb structure calls itself to render. Strokes are taken perpendicular to the limb's direction of growth.

• 

  CITY.TRAVELER.VARIATION.A

  The basic idea of the City Traveler is to create cities and allow travelers to move between them. Each traveler that makes the journey leaves behind exactly one pixel.

• 

  CITY.TRAVELER.INIT

  An unusual phenomena of the City Traveler A was the occasional feedback pattern that established relatively stable chains of attraction, causing Cities to orbit each other. Variation B of the City Traveler has been simplified to encourage systems with stable orbits. early0000 early0001

  BINARY.RING

  A system of path tracing particles evolves continually from an initial creation. Ages of darkness play arbitrarily with ages of light.
