i´m involved in a live visuals project based on square mosaic decomposition of several pictures, and i´m trying to create some dynamic 2D B/W textures for manipulate this pictures using some displacement shaders.
After 2 days of researching i´ve found this article, and i think it would be great to use this kind of 2D fractal stuff as a gray scale patterns. http://homeweb4.unifr.ch/thaelec/pub/fMos.pdf (PG 2,3)
the question is:
is it posible to implement some fractal shader/plugin, based on non linear square recursion? like sierpinski carpet but non regular.
i was trying other approaches using regular 2D square structures or Lindenmayer, but i think this one would be more interesting.
Classic fractals formulas can be generalized and randomized.
Do you need to put photos in the generalized Sierpinsky Carpet? Can you tell me which inputs/outputs should have the plugin, and/or upload an example patch with your first results?
my patch is very simple, i´ve attached a picture to clear the idea,
i´m using a mosaic gray scale to transform the pictures with a displacement/scale shader, but maybe it could be better to use a sort of swap pixels shader to make other configuration in the picture using this mosaic grid, anyway…
the grey scale texture has a regular distribution and it wolud be better to make it fractal and not linear or regular.
i have no idea how to make it posible with a plugin or shader but i was trying to make something like the sierpinski carpet with the “treeback” patch that i´ve found in the girlpower folder.
instead of inputing a mere grayscale pattern use cells with rgb values from 0-1 and use this (dynamic)texture as texturecoordinates for the image. this way, you can have the selfrepeating image done in the pixelshader.
all you need is ‘just’ a fractal pattern, which creates these values
