I recently updated some old Processing code for generating Lat\u00f6\u00f6carfian dream images \u00e0 la<\/em> Clifford Pickover’s Chaos in Wonderland<\/em>, like the ones I made for Vehicles of \u00c6therial Fire<\/a><\/em>. I shared the code as a GitHub Gist<\/a>. Perhaps one day I will make an Esper-like voice interface: “Magnify 2000 times. Pan left 300 pixels. Save that.” Might also add the ability to render at a printable DPI<\/a>, so I can say, “Give me a hardcopy right there.” Meanwhile, here are some images of zooming into the “Serpent Horizon” dream. The thumbnails hide a lot of detail; click each one to view full-size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the big changes I made was to use Java’s double<\/code> data type instead of Processing’s native float<\/code>, which greatly improves the pixel density.<\/p>\n\n\n

Here is a comparison of the “Shark Tooth” dream I made for Vehicles<\/em> vs. v2 of the same dream:<\/p>\n\n\n

I also moved the trig out of the draw()<\/code> function, so I can now render 10 million frames in just under ten seconds, instead of waiting several hours to draw them at 30 or 60 frames per second.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
