This animation is based on Daniel Shiffman tutorial on phyllotaxis.
I modified the original code to mask a background image, and to change the parameters for the so-called divergence angle (according to mouse X position), and the size of the initial "seed".
| C | Divergence angle | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 8.92 | -14.24 |  |
| 5.67 | -41.42 |  |
| 8.93 | 162.70 |  |
Here I used again the still from the movie The Shining as the background, and created several images, varying the parameter c from 4 to 12, and finally uploading the images to Giphy.
Open PSunflower.pde in Processing. To play with other images, add them to the data folder and change the code with loadImage():
img = loadImage("model_1.png");Use keyboard arrows to adjust the two main parameters of this composition:
LEFT, RIGHT: Decreases/increases the size of the initial seeds
DOWN,UP: Decreases/increases the divergence angle (angle_0)
