Computer Generated Art

I’ve had an interest in computer-generated art for quite a while now, and I’ve built up a little drawing program here to pay with. At the moment it only does Brownian Trees, I will add more to it as time allows.

Disclaimer: this is all single-threaded Javascript. It could take a little while for the images to be drawn.

Here’s a little collection of some of the things I’ve built over the years:

These next two pictures are screenshots of 3D L-Systems which generate meshes for plants using my lsystems3D software. The first one is a deterministic tree, meaning that it is generated by simple rules that behave the same way each time they are run. The second is a random flower one, the colours of the flowers are picked randomly when the plant is grown. You can see the example code for the tree here and for the flower here.

This one isn’t really the same as the other ones, it’s just a drawing of the Lorenz attractor. It looks cool, so I put it here.

This one is a video of Julia sets, which are fractal sets of complex numbers. A Julia set requires a “seed” value to determine its structure, and it looks pretty cool when you move this seed and plot the result:
