Leaf Effect

[grandell1234]

My piece of art is a sprig of leafs. They are three leafs that are randomly selected to go in different positions, which can lead to some cool art like what I linked below. It was very frustrating creating it, and this was close to the 6th rendition. I have spent way too much time on this at this point.

• I have read the steps to getting a blot
• I have read all the submission requirements and follow them
• I am submitting art that...
  • is algorithmically generated (will meaningfully change each time the program is run)
  • is your own work that is not copied from somewhere else
  • is drawable through the editor(does not use outside tools)
  • doesn't call Math.random() (See the documentation on randomness)
  • is drawable on Blot itself (doesn't have lines overlap more than 5 times)
    • Doesn't overlap lines more than 5 times
    • Fits in the working area of 125x125mm
    • Doesn't rely on colour to look good

Lastly, link a picture of your art piece here:

This is great, but it's hard to tell the details of the different leaves. Could you make some changes?

[grandell1234]

I worked on it and got something like this:

Is this what you mean by it, the leafs are now obviously leafs. And if so, should I add that as an add on to this pull-request or create a new one.

Hello! Sorry it's been so long. Just push your changes to your fork and it'll automatically update (including the preview link) over here. I look forward to seeing your changes!

[grandell1234]

Thanks @EnterpriseGoose, I have pushed the updated script, and snapshots.

[EnterpriseGoose]

Great, thank you!
Looking at the project, I think the leaves are still a little tricky to differentiate. I also would love to see you add one final element to bring the project together into something that feels like a finished piece of art. Maybe you could make it so the leaves all generate along a branch? Or maybe you could add some more details to the shapes of the leaves that could randomize for each leaf? I just would love to see that one final teeny piece of it that brings it all together. I think you're super close! You got this!

I have worked on it for a bit, what do you think of this? It now has a center layer along with a ring outside of it. And there is a lot of variables people can adjust to get a lot of cool different designs.

[EnterpriseGoose]

It looks great! Would you be able to push it so I can see the code?

[grandell1234]

Done, I just pushed the changes, with snapshots of course.

I love it! It looks like a wreath! I'll send this off to Alex to see what he thinks.
If you wanted to go even further, you could also add some little flowers or little fruits interspersed throughout. I think it would look really pretty. I'll see what Alex thinks, though, in terms of if this is enough.

this is great, but it's hard to tell the differences between the layers of leaves - maybe have a different style for each ring??

This PR is being closed due to blot's sunset as a YSWS program. Read the pins of #blot for a further explanation. Sorry for the sudden change - you can check out the other YSWSes that are currently open at ysws.hackclub.com though! They're pretty awesome
