Tonight I tested out both the new MathPaint Image Builder Wizard and the Variations window to quickly generate these images. The underlying model is a polar graph with a zoom-repeater applied and a CoreImage twelvefold-tiling feature. The first image was really easy to create playing with the Image Builder – I’m very excited to get it out with the next beta! The variations are created instantly, 8 at a time, in the Variations window – I found about 1 or 2 of each auto-generated batch aesthetically appealing. (I am expecting some day to hook up some machine learning to this feature so you can teach MathPaint about your aesthetic preferences – but for now it’s just cleverly randomized).
Here are all 23 generated images – enjoy!
