Flowers of Alfiren

The code, which is 57,199 characters long, is stored on an Ethereum smart contract here. Querying "GetScriptChunk" with 0x8E85815D9C6360e414F93483A3533D8172DCeC27 as the "creator", 1 as the "series", and 0 or 1 as the "index" will return the script.



Additionally, the a live render of the script is available to view on here. It will give you a deeper insight into my process.

Here is a little more information about how the script works:

1. Draw each organism in a black box. The organisms I use here took the last year to create. The flowers themselves are comprised of hundreds of individual curves, drawn in a series of loops. To say it simply, these loops move from ~ 0 to ~2*PI. The geometric functions of cosine, sine, and tangent are used to draw curves rotationally around the center of the flower. Of the 86 pieces, there are 7 flower genus: 24 Echinacea, 19 Adenium, 14 Zinnia, 11 Camleia, 8 Magnolia, 6 Zephyranthes, and 6 Chrysanthemum.
2. Drawing these organisms as well as any other textures to the canvas. When I say canvas, I am talking about a digital canvas on an HTML page. In HTML: <canvas> </canvas>.
3. Trial and error, constantly changing the formula. In simplest terms, the formula for placing the flowers uses a custom scaled noise field. I found success on ignoring gravity, increasing the crowdedness of flowers towards the center of each piece.
4. Once I have a formula for placing all my digital paint strokes. I focus on creating layers. There are three main layers, background, color, and skeleton, each made up of many sub layers.
