Old Particle Config Needs Some Coding Changes

Post by BTT »

Hello All

I need some help with this old Particle I found called Dotorama, it displays lots of flying discs in various colors and, I like it. BUT, the size of the discs are way too big for my liking. Anyone out there (JRM) who could figure a way to make them smaller in size?

Code: Select all

Aspc= 1 ,

B0="rnd(1)",

X0="cos(s*6.28+t)*B0",
Y0="sin(s*6.28+t)*B0",

Pen="rnd(.5)+.5",
Stps="rnd(10) + 3",
LWdt="400*fft(s)+2",
ConB=0,

Meta="reactive=1 detail=3 density=3"
Vers=100

Regards BTT

Code: Select all

LWdt="400*fft(s)+2", 
dictates the 'circles [dots]' sizes (as a function of frequency content). Each 'step' is drawn at a size [2,402] inclusive, as a function of fft(step). Reducing '400' limits the maximum [dot] size.

*** Fourth Thoughts (do'h) ***

Code: Select all

Aspc= 0 ,
A0="sqrt(2)" ,

B0="rnd(A0)",
B1="100*(1+atan(B0))", 

LWdt="B1*fft(s)+2",
where B1 ~ [100,257] as a function of radius (B0)

jerohm, you are a genius.

I don't understand much of what you said but, I do know that the code when applied to the original Config does exactly what I wanted.

Guess that's another buck I owe you.

Thank you

Any accolades belong to Andy for identifying and harnessing the elemental building blocks that combine to visual satisfaction. I am just one who deeply appreciates his insight/efforts.

...but you are right, Now you owe me $2.
:P
