Hi everybody,
So I met David Trowbridge at SIGGRAPH last week and he showed me this
cool application he wrote called Fyre. You have to see the gallery of
images it's produced: http://zero.navi.cx/gallery/v/software/fyre/
The program as described on the site:
"Fyre is a tool for producing computational artwork based on histograms
of iterated chaotic functions. At the moment, it implements the Peter de
Jong map in a fixed-function pipeline with an interactive GTK+ frontend
and a command line interface for easy and efficient rendering of
high-resolution, high quality images."
An RPM is available for Fedora:
http://flapjack.navi.cx/releases/fyre/fyre-1.0.0-2.i686.rpm
Anyway it seems like it would be a great tool for creating hawt-looking
abstract backgrounds. The only issue is that it produces bitmaps, not
vectors. However, you could probably get some neat results from bitmap
tracing the output in Inkscape. :)
