Some amazing generative art, done with Processing, here: <a href="http://complexification.net/gallery/" rel="nofollow">http://complexification.net/gallery/</a><p>You can grab the source for these and play around with them, tweaking values to see how things work.<p>One of my favorites is Sand Traveler. The underlying algorithm is relatively simple, but the results are stunning.<p>These are presented as Java applets, but Processing 2.0 now lets you export code to JavaScript (processing.js).<p>It also exports to Android apk files, so you can build Android apps with Processing.
Very interesting. It's random, but not enough to keep you from controlling the brush to create natural images.<p>Trunk on fire:

Quite impressed with this; only thing 'wrong' with it is that the gray/black color should erase rather than add. Thanks for the source link Void_.<p>I do a fair bit of generative music stuff, so I'm impressed with that part as much as the pretty colors: <a href="http://new.weavesilk.com/?czw6" rel="nofollow">http://new.weavesilk.com/?czw6</a>
Ok this was mine : <a href="http://new.weavesilk.com/?czgl" rel="nofollow">http://new.weavesilk.com/?czgl</a><p>Would love to see a retina iPad version of this.

I've literally had this on repeat for almost 3 hours now: <a href="http://new.weavesilk.com/?d06a" rel="nofollow">http://new.weavesilk.com/?d06a</a><p>So cool.

I am sorry, but what am I missing - where is the interaction? I can't interact with the art I create. What is the difference between this and Photoshop (or any other image editor for example) except for it being browser based and playing some sounds in the background?<p>It is very well done, and what you can make with it is very impressive. Good work!
These make a good 'just because' mini gift :)<p>Here is a heart: <a href="http://new.weavesilk.com/?d38q" rel="nofollow">http://new.weavesilk.com/?d38q</a>
Interesting idea - I had implemented a similar symmetry concept in one of my ios apps (<a href="http://gravitypaint.com" rel="nofollow">http://gravitypaint.com</a> - if you want to check it out).<p>Why not extend it to also cover radial symmetry - should be easy to add and you can let the user set the angle etc...
Could someone list another apps that can make "beautiful" graphic like this app? (Or at least, something that could be done by non-artist, no photoshop / pattern / texture needed to generate the graphic).
With the symmetry setting disabled, this is an interesting way of freestyle sketching (more so with a Wacom) <a href="http://new.weavesilk.com/?d4e6" rel="nofollow">http://new.weavesilk.com/?d4e6</a>
I think I made a demonic, dual-wielding Samurai: <a href="http://new.weavesilk.com/?d119" rel="nofollow">http://new.weavesilk.com/?d119</a><p>Or it may just be a mess.
