OK.

  1. Setting the lengths of various wheelies is not even half of it.
  2. Setting various frequency combinations quickly arrives at many kinds of patterns.
  3. Adding wheelies increases pattern space exponentially. Wheelie rosettes are possible through
    pairs of wheelies. Three wheelie sets give rise to asymmetric palmettos.
  4. Many patterns recur at frequency multiples.

Eventually real documentation will appear in Tutorial Land. But not this week.

Have fun.

Glad you are having fun.

You’ve got the idea. These arabesques are not end points, but points of departure for other effects. Especially like the last one in your series.

Again, appreciate this one, Garry; awesome to say the least. Helps to not depend on the AI bots for renders (which I’m about to post soon a result; d@mn sad how good these bots have become in so little time). :slight_smile:

Improved version, using the new CLI curve command as the final renderer, retiring use of thicklines. While I was under the hood, I threw in an opacity control, just for giggles-and-snorts, and was surprised at the extra dimension it added, particularly when strokes undergo a rapid change in direction; there’s a visually interesting pile-up at the corners.

Vacation over now. Back to Tutorial Land go I.

Garry, that is really a cool filter.
