Clojurians Log v2

A few of my selects from 500 total iterations with randomized initial state

nice!

how do you select the palette?

Palettes are randomized too & I’m picking the more successful ones. The basic idea (not mine) is to generate each channel R, G and B as a scaled and shifted cosine: http://www.iquilezles.org/www/articles/palettes/palettes.htm

the TL;DR of that is

channel = a + b * cos( c*t + d )

and so you supply the a,b,c,d and the free parameter is t.

In RGB you supply a 3D vector for a, b, c, and d.

cool, that strikes me as one of the more interesting design aspects

(also I suck at doing so manually :)

Yeah, the packing algorithm is fairly simple and a little bit brute force.

For the parameters a,b,c,d I decided not to use q/random, but rather q/random-gaussian so that I can have some variation but still keep the parameters statistically close to something I consider sane. I’m surprised how well that’s working. I expected a lot of ugliness but there’s a lot less than you would expect.

but for example, here’s one I wouldn’t select from the set.

Yeah :)
