Moving up one dimension into Apollonian sphere-packing using POPs. I put together an implementation based on Kean Walmsley’s code, which itself is built on Ron Peikert’s original work from his paper “The Fractal Dimension of the Apollonian Sphere Packing.”

A quick study exploring Apollonian circle-packing using POPs. Point computation is still brute force in CPU... so no POPs were harmed in that process ;)

Playing with trails using POPs. I aimed to create forms that thicken and shift toward blue as they accelerate.

#genuary Day 29: Grid-based graphic design.

For today's prompt I had to think of my friend Roy Gerritsen's grid-based systems. So, here a poster (I'm no graphic designer 😅) inspired by his awesome work.

#genuary Day 24: Geometric art - pick either a circle, rectangle, or triangle and use only that geometric shape.

I chose rectangles, with varying tilts and slightly altered vertex positions.
