| Wow holy shit. I had forgotten about this thread which is indeed what put the seed in my brain for adding recursive drawing. I knew I read about it somewhere and the idea go wedged in my brain until it was implemented. That's pretty much how everything works :) But it's kind of cool to see the exact moment of inception from months ago. Yeah I remember googling this and not being able to stop thinking about it. The same was true for tessellations and radial symmetry before that. What a fitting conclusion that we both find ourselves here with your suggestion implemented. I'm indeed not active on HN but I do show up when my servers get hammered by it :). Thank you for the idea, I hope you're satisfied with the implementation :) If you go to the pro facet of the site (https://pro.mandalagaba.com) you'll see you can mix radial symmetry, with tessellation, with recursion... If you like it all, you can have it all in one pen stroke :). Let's just say that baking recursion in was extremely complex. I had to sit down in front of my computer for a couple of hours every night for a good 2 months to have it implemented and free of bugs. So... you got any other good ideas? :) |
Really amusing to meet again. I don't have any new idea in mind which doesn't kinda lead mandalagaba to become a full fledged image edition program (layers, brushes, some effects, changing hues and tones, etc.), but if I come up with something nice I'll tell you. As seen in this thread, maybe devices (like a drawing compass) with multiple articulations? (you might also find some inspiration with polar coordinates and waves in this nice video about fourier transforms by 3Blue1Brown [https://youtu.be/spUNpyF58BY?t=233], like at 3:53 or 5:14). Keep up the good work!
