#procedural image

@brutal_exe

In the same vein as my appreciation of Nail Polish Bot, I also like the way that Martin O’Leary’s @brutal_exe twitter bot generates a consistent aesthetic with its 3D explorations.

The generator uses a path tracer that renders views of fractal architectural forms. The grainy side-effect is re-purposed as part of the Brutalist, low-fi phorograph aesthetic.

I think this intersection of the source material and the frequency of image generation helps to maximize the interesting image content. The fractal forms have many interesting shapes, and the camera moves just enough to have most of the images be both unique and striking.

Martin was partially inspired by Íñigo Quílez. who has made a lot of procedural generation and demoscene works.
