Really beautiful work. I still don't understand how you manage to "flatten" the 3d shapes into a single image (the paper). Do you take a "screenshot" from a top camera into a PImage ? Hi Robert !

The 3D effect is due to the blurring of the older layers. Its actually a lot easier to understand than my description might have led on. Close your eyes and go on a journey with me. You are tiny and you are standing on a sheet of paper. Solid white. All around you are floating objects which react to audio and respond to each other. They dance around in this space. They also happen to be made of ink. Crazy! So the ink slowly rains down onto the paper. At the proper time, every object in the space clones a double of itself. This double has one goal... react to gravity. The double falls to the paper while the originals continue their dance. Before the next cloning happens, the paper gets blurred. Make sense? Rob: Prints are the end game. Trying to make the engine well enough that I can let it run for a while and make 50 or so unique prints all based on the same math. Fingers crossed! ukuku and Lea*: Thanks! Im pretty happy with where these are going. Dr. Woohoo!: Working on it. I need to make the old blurred layers also fade a bit because after a while, all that blurring turns the paper grey and things start to get muddy really quick. I let a render run overnight last night and when I woke up, only the first 10 frames look decent, the rest are just messy. Andy: Yep, that is just the ‘paper’.

I was able to understand the development of Ink Trails up until now, but no longer! Are these images above really just the "paper" after the ink has rained down on them? They look so 3dimensional to me, maybe it is just due to the blurring. Either way, you have certainly captured my curiosity. Very Nice, I am looking forward to the video.
