Geometry
Particles
The picture breaks into chips and flies apart — the phase is a knob, not a clock.
Controls
- grid
- How many particles across the frame. The only knob here that costs anything
- phase
- How far the burst has got. A knob rather than a clock, so it works on a photograph too: zero is intact, one is dust
- burst
- How far the particles fly by the end
- gravity
- How heavy the particles are. At zero they fly straight and never fall; higher, the cloud bends down into a jet
- spin
- How many turns a particle makes on the way. At zero they fly flat and the cloud reads as a layer
- order
- Who leaves first: the dark parts, the light parts, or everything at once
- tilt
- A number from 5 to 89, 68 by default.
- turn
- A number from -180 to 180, 0 by default.
- light
- A number from -180 to 180, -50 by default.
