Sharing auto-wallpaper generator with anyone who wants it

[dvdbillen]

I wrote this wallpaper generator and I've been liking it a lot and thought I'd share it.

It's attached, but here's a link in case there's problems:

It's source code, but it's just one source file and no dependencies and very easy to make (simple instructions included). Plus since it's source code you don't have to wonder if it's something seedy

You will only be interested in it if you're like me and want a simple, pretty much solid wallpaper, but with some niceness about it. It's great with a "flat" look. I found that by modeling the gradient that light actually uses to decay it made a soft gradient look like real lighting variations and for some reason more pleasing to look at.

Sounds like something people will enjoy.

Thanks Buntu Bunny, not sure it's the right forum for this though.

Here's an update with minor improvements if anyone uses it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8K...ew?usp=sharing

Great little application, thanks for sharing it. I am attaching some of my results here in case others want to see what it can do.

This reminds me of a script I started that would generate really basic landscape-style images (with a horizon being the very minimal requirement) as SVGs, using gradients and gaussian blur. I may have to dive into that again.

Anyway, is it OK to share the output images on the web? I already have some fractal wallpapers on one of my sites and I'd love to share some Fred there.

Sure, I made the whole program public domain. Anyone can do anything they want with it, (or its output).
