Title: A failed plasma leads to some interesting Moire Patterns...
Post by: Pixel_Outlaw on June 07, 2008

So I was fiddling around trying plasma and I accidentally make something sort of cool. I took each pixel and used the distance formula from the nearest pixel as the color value. Then only drew the special color if the distance was divisible by 3.

Ah well maybe a bit amateur but kind of interesting I suppose. The Moire patterns are really what stick out.

Sadly this is not dynamic quite yet, just used the plot command and a single backbuffer flip in Blitzmax. Just to get the look of it without having to use pixmaps.

Is it worth pursuing?

Definately, it looks like quite a striking variation on polar plasma :)

You would get the same result by just setting every 2nd entry in your colour-lookup-table to black...

Cool looking Moire effects Pixel Outlaw. And K++ to Energy for a great plasma tutorial link.
