Implementation of Hamid Naderi Yeganeh's art in Rust.
cargo run
cargo run --bin sunflower_field
Implemented:
Ideas:
- Consider using
rayon
instead ofstd::thread
-
Consider usingwinit
UserEvent
instead ofstd::mpsc::channel
- Consider porting to
rust-gpu
- Position of cursor gives you a popup of the history of that value (i.e. all the computations that led to the colour of that pixel)
- Write a proc-macro to write more math-like expressions, which will auto-generate the functions (and the metadata needed for the history)
-
sunflower_field
optimisation:v
is always a constant integer
Workings are PNG images with the Excalidraw scene embedded into them.
v
appears to be used, in many of the formulas (starting with H(v, x, y)
), as a way to select a value for a colour, and is 0
for red, 1
for green, and 2
for blue.
So we need to find an equation such that f(0) = r
, f(1) = g
, f(2) = b
.
A parabola is one equation with this behaviour.
We have the generalised formula for a parabola f(v) = mv^2 + nv + o
.
We can solve for m
, n
and o
:
f(0) = r
-> 0m + 0n + o = r
-> o = r
f(1) = g
-> 1m + 1n + r = g
-> m + n = -r + g
f(2) = b
-> 4m + 2n + r = b
-> 4m + 2n = -r + b
f(2) - 2f(1)
-> (4 - 2)m + (2 - 2)n = -r + b - 2(-r + g)
-> 2m + 0n = -r + b + 2r - 2g
-> 2m = (r - 2g + b)
-> m = (r - 2g + b) / 2
m + n = -r + g
-> n = -r + g - m
-> 2n = -2r + 2g - 2m
-> 2n = -2r + 2g -(r - 2g + b)
-> 2n = -2r + 2g - r + 2g - b
-> 2n = -3r + 4g - b
-> n = (-3r + 4g - b) / 2
Testing this equation:
r = 70% = 70/100
g = 70% = 70/100
b = 100% = 100/100
m = (r - 2g + b) / 2
-> m = (70 - 2*70 + 100) / 100 / 2
-> m = 30/200
-> m = 3/20
n = (-3r + 4g - b) / 2
-> n = (-3*70 + 4*70 - 100) / 100 / 2
-> n = -30/200
-> n = -3/20
o = r
-> o = 100/100
-> o = 20/20
f(v) = 3/20*v^2 - 3/20*v + 20/20
-> f(v) = (3*v^2 - 3*v + 20) / 20
This is the equation for the colour of the sky in sunflower_field
