Roiling sparks

dots nice effectContinuing on with experimenting with grids of circles.  I’ve cranked up the randomness, the alpha channel and the circle size on this one.  It works really well with some animation.  I might consider this technique to add some interest to the quantum mechanics demos to draw the eye to the density functions.

I’d been rather unmotivated with a number of projects that I’m working on, but going through my inspiration board on pinterest got me fired up again.  I’ve got a few more experiments on the way.

Hard to believe there is a pattern to this one.

This one really really looks random, but it’s as well defined as any of the other more geometric images I’ve posted. Fractals don’t follow the same rules that we are used to. That’s what makes them interesting subjects. My latest burst of posting has died down as I’ve gotten busy and probably will be for a while with the holidays and things picking up at work.
