More Fun with the Ship Designer

from GalCiv3 Forums

This is not a ship, not even by my very very loose definitions of "ship".  :)  So, I didn't want to put in the ship design thread.   It is a visualization demo of the math concept of permutations.  I have seen this visualization in a couple of different formats, but I am pretty happy with what the Ship Designer and I came up with.  I pride myself on creating animations with long loop times.  This one seems to be 6 1/2 minutes from single petal to single petal.  I have a variant in progress that adds a second axis of rotation, but that is really math geeky.  Does anyone else do strange stuff with the ship designer just to see what happens?  ;)

 

It is posted on the Workshop under the name "Daisy".

 

It's not fireworks, but happy 4th of July to all the USA people here.  Now, I get to go to our local fireworks.  Enjoy!

Very nice.

Admit it, you just tried to make a digital LSD trip generator. :grin:

I'm glad you like it.

As for software simulation of a psychedelic state, I always thought that was what music visualizations were for, especially if you're playing Pink Floyd.   :grin:

Fascinating, captian! Reminds of the more far out "old" species in Babylon 5.
