This one is from a walk in the park, where I took a photo of grass with raindrops on it.
I made a 42-fold, rotating mandala from it, used that in another 8-fold mandala and mixed it into a color filter.
The first video directly encoded in my video mixer using gstreamer-rs.
... and sure, it was the wrong container format, not working with Mastodon so I had to recode it, because I already closed the art session.
Too many hard coded variables to publish the code yet. But it doesn't look messy at all / very much.
The MIDI input for my video mixer / synthesizer app works better than I would have dreamt of. The #midir library allowed for a clean integration into my existing project.
Now knobs, sliders and buttons can be bound to almost any value in the options panels.
And I fixed the tiling in the #kaleidoscope filter for p1 symmetry.
To add more symmetries, I need to be in the proper mood, then it can be a joy. Otherwise it is just pain.
Got my color rotation function back! Colors are a little bit bland, different to good hue algorithms. But it is customizable with a lower and upper border using trigonometric functions to create thresholds for the colors.
And that gives nice new effects, which don't look bland at all.
(The best is, I can reuse my color mixer render scene, as this is just a color mix with changing values.)
