I’ve been work­ing on a new ren­derer for the strange sym­me­try piece. It’s going well but it’s tak­ing a lot of my time. The new draw­ing sys­tem han­dles super­sam­pling, anti-aliasing and low-density blur­ring. It really is a major qual­ity boost. I posted some  pre­lim­i­nary results on Flickr.

The code itself is fin­ished. But I want to get a doc­u­mented ver­sion online with a decent GUI and that’s tak­ing some effort. Also, it won’t be the fastest code, I feel that speed opti­miza­tion at this point would make the code too dense to be of use to any­one. Any­way, it would prob­a­bly be too costly memory-wise for an online applet.

You know, it can be really hard to focus when peo­ple are con­sis­tently mak­ing amaz­ing things, peo­ple like Dave Bollinger (again), Alle­san­dro Fiore and Hilde&Gwen (Simon’s a bit young :-) ).

I want to drop every­thing and start play­ing around with trac­ing par­ti­cles again. Arggh, must fin­ish this first, must fin­ish this … pretty, pretty particles…
