The Vector Field High Voltage generator!

A generative artwork like an electrical discharge.

Description of this generative artwork.

This generative artwork was made with the code of the 'Processing'.

I used the idea of Vector Field written by GenerateMe. And I just changed the coordinates calculation formula in the other work of mine 'Daydream'.

Drawing vector field | GenerateMe
https://generateme.wordpress.com/2016/04/24/drawing-vector-field/

The calculation formula in my code is like below.

xPoint += plotDiv * pow(sin(TWO_PI * customNoise(xInit * paramA, yPrev * paramB) * plotMult), 3);
yPoint += plotDiv * pow(cos(TWO_PI * customNoise(yInit * paramC, xPrev * paramD) * plotMult), 3);

/**
 * customNoise : returns almost random but interesting value
 */
float customNoise(float _x, float _y) {
  return pow(sin(_x), 3) * cos(pow(_y, 2));
}
  






 

The 'Processing' code example.

Please feel free to use this example code under the terms of the GPL.
To see other works based on my code is my pleasure. And my honor.

This example code does not display any images on the screen but just generates image files.
