Yeah - there are two stages. First, I ran a program to generate a color pattern. The second image picks up the first image and particles inherit the colors from the background.
All of this is a custom program. I'm writing up a package for Jude.

Michael, this looks like a lot of fun with exceptional results. Not sure exactly what you are talking about except that it is done in some type of program. But did you start out with an image of your own? And if so, would love to see the original and compare it to the end result.
It almost sounds like you started off with a color wheel and ended up with this. I'll have to go check the web site you mentioned and see if I can understand a bit more. And I may be back to have you send me the program.
You are such the experimenter.
Best wishes,
Dave

Hey Jude... If you really want this program it is free and I could send you the program. You still want this?

Michael, this is gorgeous. I zeroed in on it immediately, then hung there like a starving remora. Damn. Where is this program?!

haha it looks a bit like charts from Monte Carlo simulations that we do in my dept. The same colors, 10,000 iterations ;) hehe
but, yes the shape/outcome is different - yours is much nicer.

The fine lines are crisp, the effect is fantastic. You can take almost any detail, crop it, and it becomes another abstract in its own right. And the size allows you to create posters. I can see many modern commercial interiors (building lobbies, modern offices) using these large prints. Congratulations :)Ina

Hey Ina:
Thanks. This image was created at 12" x 36" at 300 dpi, or 10,800 x 3,600 pixels. The size is what takes so long for them to "develop" over time.
The result is worth it, a 38.9 megapixel digital painting, with some interesting detail.
I'm running another which should be done by Friday or the weekend using "magnets" instead of "spinners" to see if there is a difference. It's hilarious to see one of the fasted PC CPUs out there maxed at 100% for days on end. I guess I've "burned" in my machine by now.
Here is a detail of a section from the lower right corner to give you an idea that there are layers of fine lines that make up the image.

Michael, I'm not sure I understand the process, and it is not as important for me as the final image. I do appreciate your explanation, but the picture itself is worth a thousand words. Awesome beauty, just like an exquisite painting. It looks like sheer fabric, and the colors are outstanding. There is lots for the eyes to roam about, and I'm sure the prints look awesome. I can see this framed as wall art, or huge projections. Congrats :) Ina
