Experiment: Impressionist Image Renderer (again)

Yeah, I know this is a repeat… but hey, when your hosting company deletes your last three posts, what’s a man to do?

Michael Battle - Dot Renderer

Sit back and bask in the glory of an experiment that takes an image, applies an algorithm and ends up with something Van Gogh would give his left ear for. Print me out an A1 of this baby, bring me an Asahi and some wasabi peas and join me in the gallery of pseudo impressionism.

Simply put, the following demo showcases my impressionist image renderer. It takes an image and, using the maze rendering algorithm that we’ve seen before, plots the detail at three levels of resolution.

There are five images in the sequence. Watch and be impressed… impressionisted… impressionismisted…

The result is intriguing and satisfying to watch. I think this is because the fine dots attract your eye and attention and, thanks to the semi-random rules, each render looks and feels slightly different.
