Ordered Random Studio

ORStudio screen
Ordered Random Studio (ORStudio) is an open source program that I developed for my experimentation on color interactions. ORStudio identifies patches from a drawing and apply colors to the patches based upon several design specifications such as tension, centroid, color chords, complexity and so on. ORStudio can save time and materials on color experimentation which would have cost too much, had it to be done with actual paints and canvases. The details of ORStudio are presented here.

Ordered Random Fractal for 2D

ORFractal-2D
Ordered Random Fractal for 2D (ORFractal-2D) is an experimental art project designed to generate ordered randomness from arbitrary 2D shapes. Using fractal growth algorithms, I create self-similar forms that dynamically vary in scale and randomness. The core visual experience I aim to deliver is a sense of texture and rhythm crafted by nature over time - a visual manifestation of the principle of causality. The source code is openly available at github.

L-System for trees

L-system for trees screen
It is an experimental forest with trees for my art study. The trees are with no leaves; I'm only interested in the bones that create rhythms over the sequence of events in nature, i.e., the plant biology and tropism. The trees are developed using the parametric L-system fractal and simulated using CPFG developed by Univ. of Calgary.  The source code is openly available at github. No manual at the moment. Contact me for any questions.

ORRain

ORRain screen
ORRain is an experimental simulation of rain drops on water surface for my art study. It presents water surface as pure reflection of background scene or sky depending on the curvature created by rain drops and their propagation. The source code is openly available at github.

ORSnowyMountains

ORSnowyMountains is an experimental simulation of snow-covered mountain ranges for my art study. The simulation relies on hydraulic erosion to mountain terrains. The source code is openly available at github.
