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.
My neighbor built an 8' long #kaleidoscope that you can stick your whole head inside. It is so freaking trippy and cool. He'll be at #BurningMan with the only 8' kaleidoscope.
Not 100% sure this counts as a functional print, since I purchased acrylic mirrors for this and cut them down. What I 3d printed were the templates for cutting the mirrors and the shell for holding it all together in the right shape and protecting it so my niece can play with it without breaking it....
Tomorrow is a day off for me, would love to go to the lake again to swim and feel the water surrounding me, but...it will most likely be raining (although still very warm temperatures). So...plan B is to just hop on the train and go sightseeing, with an umbrella in the bag.
Happy start of a new week, everyone. Hope you had a great weekend and filled up your energy tanks 🙂 I sure did (went to a lake nearby where I haven't been before, sun was shining ☀️ and not many people around...nice)
Some more kaleidoscopic images made from my original photograph of a "Green Tree Canopy".
