Achieve organic visual textures

asadjmalik

I'm sorry if the title doesn't explain what I'm trying to do. I've recently started learning processing and am going to go through all the lessons I can find today. I already program iOS so I'm not worried about the technical challenge but knowing how to transform a visual in my head to code is certainly challenging.

I'm trying to create images similar to the ones I've attached. I really don't know where to begin as far as getting the slight color variations and organic texture in terms of colors merging together.

Any advice or direction on which library, process, class I should explore would be very welcome.

Here's the actual online generator

i think it's cheating.

with network debugging on in your browser you can see it's loading one image:

http://horizons.dandad.org/static/images/base-small.jpg

which has all the 'organic' bits in it. the rest of the code is slicing up and colourising that one image based on the parameters.

Wow. I think you very well might be right. Interesting.

The question still remains, is it possible to get similar texturing etc without using an image to rely on? Any help is appreciated.

Hi, I am looking for something very similar with the purposes to generate gemstone textures (for example agate). Of course it is possible to program this from scratch, anything is possible. A professor in Eindhoven for example has created a procedural generator to create Mondrian paintings and gets very close to the actual art. Appreciated if you can find this generator again!
