Sometimes I like to take two random concepts and smash them together.
I previously had an incorrect concept of what curl noise was. This experiment demonstrates it. Although it isn’t what I thought it was, it’s still a pretty cool concept.
I could not be happier about the way this turned out. I could play with this for hours. Which is to say, I’ve been playing with this for hours.
I spent WAAAAAAAY too long on this last weekend. I was possessed. It was fun. The code is hideous. Microcomps? Too bad they don’t do anything. Would be fun to build this out a bit. Clean up the code and modularize things, get them animated and maybe some bit of interactivity. But I doubt I’ll be doing that any time soon.
This algorithm is painfully slow, but if kept to small areas it’s pretty neat.
Once again, draw on the canvas. This took well under an hour to create, which is really only a testament to how many times over the last 20 years I’ve re-written the same damn code. 🙂
