Title: Some More Tinkering
Post by: rdc on November 10, 2006

I am still tinkering with this chlandi stuff. I wrote a little hack to dump the color information from a bitmap to an array, and then generate a chlandi texture the same size as the bitmap, using a grayscale palette. When I print the chlandi texture, I replace the white areas with the corresponding texture color (ch(x, y) = sand(x, y). It makes for an interesting image:

Looks nice,  I have one idea for you, for grayscale areas (without texture)  you could change color palette and give it some color flashing, something like this plasma example http://dbfinteractive.com/index.php?topic=72.0

Great idea and example. I'll give it try. Thanks!

Looks beautiful, even on the screen of this laptop :)
How would it look if it was bump mapped?

Thanks. It does have a strange mix of organic and technical that is appealing for some reason, at least to me. :). Bump mapping is definitely something to explore on this.

rdc = master chladni.

Its really quite fascinating to see all these variations. Please keep going, I for one would like to see how far you can go with just chladni. It would be great to do an all chladni into.

What do we have so far:
chladni patterns in 2d
chaldni patterns in 3d as dots
chladni bump mapping
chladni 3d shaders
chladni image mapping (how esle to call it)
and rbraz suggested chladni plasmas

What else can you possibly come up with?
Next compo should be chladni compo - intro that uses chaldni in weird and wonderful ways. Would be cool.

lol. I am a bit of a freak, but it is all your fault, Taj, with mind and Rbraz as contributors to my obsession. :) I am not sure why I am so fascinated with these patterns, but I don't think I have yet reached the end of it. A chlandi compo would be cool. I might be able to enter something. :)

Maybe some kind of computer generated pattern compo.. The idea has legs.

That looks really great, its amazing what cool images that can be rendred like that.

Thanks, man.

Here is a variation. Two textures with the inner texture alpha blended to keep the same variations as the chlandi output. This keeps the texture from looking flat.

Looks like it's made from stone :)

Ihave no idea what you mean but the image looks bloody brilliant!

I agree - stone . . . i could use that . . . I was looking for a stonelike background the other day for a customer . . .

Well done. Looks very very good.
