Magic Eye Egrs: More Egrs

This was an unsuccessful experiment to create a “Magic Eye” style pattern that wound up yielding an attractive psychedelic pattern instead. I compressed the pattern into a sphere, tweaked the controls, and modified the available colour palettes in order to create the final generator. I cover the creation of this piece in more detail in the tutorial. Kat Winter riffed on this piece and I've included her prompts as well.

user (aitechnopagan):

Please create some incredible generative psychedelic magic eye art that reveals a hidden checkerboard pattern. Give me controls for the key parameters. The controls should disappear when the mouse hasn't moved in a few seconds. Use a subtle and restrained colour palette.

user (aitechnopagan):

wrap this pattern around a sphere

user (aitechnopagan):

create a variety of colour palette options inspired by famous fashion designers and change the background to complement the palette every time

user (aitechnopagan):

add controls to shift and distort the sphere into different shapes

user (aitechnopagan):

make it possible to increase the size of the shape

user (katwinter):

when a new 'designer palette' is selected, apply with randomized parameters each time

user (katwinter):

can we make this design 3 dimensional?

user (katwinter):

great work homie, can you add in a new ui menu that applies new visual or mathematical effects to the generation? its all up to you - i love love love to see your vision, i mean look what you made here! give it a shot, and really go for something striking and controllable
