Antialiasing is done using a logarithmic density map to control brightness and by fuzzing coordinates a bit using random(). I’ve still to implement blending of single pixels hit by more than one color to reduce the current flipping during rendering.

For a long time I’ve been fascinated by visualization of complex data and math. This fetish of mine led me to discover Processing, a programming language based on java with the explicit purpose of visualizing … stuff. Now, I’ve never been much of a programmer, but I decided to try a dabble a little with this and it turns out you can a lot with scripting. Below’s my third creation, the first and second being a rather dull perlin noise ribbon and a fibonacci spiral. Perhaps I will figure out something fun to with those later.
