Hello, there's few images i did which i thought you might like...

It is rendered using some experimental software which searchers through parameter space of some rather long mathematical equation, and renders images. I have many thousands images like that, and the program mostly produces good looking stuff using heruistics to judge images.

[I might release the software as open source later on depending to some circumtances. Also the source is not exactly readable, i don't think i'll ever have time to prettify it, unless it'll actually be my paid job]

If you want you can post links to images you like, it's difficult to review lot of images.

So, what ya think about those images?

There are some fantastic textures and images there. I particularly liked 01082.

Best of luck with your project.

Another one I liked was the smoky image 00789. What would this look like with some parameter varied to create a movie?

It's almost as if my software got mind of it's own and started doing art.Um, those pictures are very cool. :-D

Have you given any thought to audio visualization? I may be out to lunch, but it occurs to me that this might be in the same arena

EDIT: Further reading indicates this is not really the same arena.

I like the idea a lot anyway. To second above poster,

That program you made sir, to render these, is genius!
These pictures are all stunning, and to think a program made all of these!

, you can post links directly to ones you like...
but note that if i get too much server load i might have to delete them.

Nice! :) Awesome job! What graphics library did you use to render them in your program?

Well, the only graphics library i used was imagemagick (only for writing images to disk) . Also i used FFTW for some math.

Other than that, i used my code that i wrote for other projects (you can see mojoworld section on my website etc. I'm computer graphics software programmer, mostly doing non-realtime things)
