Another gigapixel image

This time it is a variation on 20090822-1. 20090822-1 showed some strange features at very high resolution, which turned out to be due to the poor pseudo-random generator I have been using. I managed to fix the problem partially by modifying the pseudo random generator (you might still see some blurry diagonal lines in the pattern at some places...). I will have to look more seriously into this, and maybe speak about it in a future blog post.

Anyway, changing the pseudo-random generator necessarily changes the picture, so I had to make a second version, the one depicted below. It is probably the richest gigapixel image I've rendered so far. Enjoy!

20090822-2

The algorithmic world 20090822 is based on a Perlin pattern, combined with a large magnification step (10).
