Inspired by the creations of my friend Soulwire, I spent a couple of hours last night coding up a simple algorithm that generates patterns from joined equilateral triangles. A random variable acts on the hypoteneuse of the triangles in 10% of cases, making the triangles shrink in size and lean, occasionally.
I've written it in Matlab for now (great for prototyping algorithms) but will probably switch to something more visually elegant (e.g. Processing / Open Frameworks) later.
It needs work but here are some initial images. Click to view larger.
