Another image, busy busy

This is part of a series I put together trying to see how far I could go playing with simple symmetries. I’m not going to moan about how I haven’t been posting, but let you know everything I’ve been doing recently. I’ve been moving a number of wordpress sites from apache to nginx, I’m evaluating scholarship applications, preparing several presentations at my day job covering server performance and the migration we are going to do to ASP.NET MVC. On top of all that I just had an intense blast at SXSWi. Here are some of the notes from the panels I went to.
Fractal Friday – alignment

This image, while not very visually interesting has a lot of accidental symmetry.
More crossing lines images.

I haven’t had much time to play with the crossing lines. I do like their simplicity and the way they can create complex crossing relationships. I’ll be playing around with braids next, and integrating differential equations and chaos of course.
Some simple geometric fractals

These guys use four transformations with simple rotation parameters. All I changed is the scaling factor of the two central transformations and their centers. It shows how the nature and feeling of the image can change dramatically with just a few little parameter changes.
-
- Fancy geometric fractal
-
- Simple nearly symmetric
-
- Diminishing the top scaling emphasizes the edges
-
- Balance the top and bottom and move them closer together
-
- Tightening the bottom and loosening the top looks completely different
-
- moving the bottom transform up changes the overall shape
Just post something, Jeeezz

I wanted to make something more linear, but not.
In the mean time, I’ve been playing around with angularjs, plus have been installing laminate floors in my house, and I ran into How to fold a Julia Fractal a few weeks ago. What a fantastic use of 3d at the top of the page, though it doesn’t scroll well on any of my systems. It’s inspired me to rethink my approach for building interactive demos, and the UI of this site. Fun stuff ahead.
