Simple recursive systems and fractal patterns
MATLAB notes:
See Programs and code for all required resources.
MATLAB command to generate a single triangular element (see header and hardcoding to generate the three required elements):
>> EC_radial_MS( 256, 512, 1.0 );
with hardcoded
flTwist = 5/3.0
flPhase = 0/3.0, 1/3.0, 2/3.0 and
ndegPhase = ndegPhase + 280 (I don't know why)
Space Software notes:
File | Open
set Volume | Volume info | Origin x, y and z (n*128 + n, 0, m*256)
Repeat after:
Generate mirror:
Overlays | Duplicate
Volume | Change Coordinate Axes | X' = -X, Y' = -Y, Z' = -Z
AND
Add another phase shifted animation:
Overlays | Open Overlay
The background is now generated within EC_radial_MS.m (above), but originally this was done manually (only roughly, as edge pixels aren't logically merged properly) with this procedure:
Overlays | Duplicate
Overlays | Move Down
Reduce Colors | Brightness
Colors | Apply Color Transformations to Values
Overlays | Merge All
