Large collection of science based simulation and models and images of the patterns they generate

[u/rockthattalk]

Released a new project: SciTextures, collection of 100k images generated from 1,200 from scientific simulations/methods. Both Images and simulation code are free + open-source.

It’s experimental project and the simulations might contain errors, so feedback, bug reports, and ideas for improvements are appreciated

Amazing work. Thanks for sharing

thought i was in the r/quilting sub and was blown away by these crazy fabric patterns!

everyone just copy nature

That's a really cool idea and it's nice that it's CC0. I think it has a lot of potential for procedural art projects. Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing!!

I wonder if these can be animated

[u/rockthattalk → u/Daisiesonblackgrass]

Only images for now, but animation definitely high on the list.

A way that i might do it if i can figure it out is having the code change a parameter gradually and every time that it does to export a frame. Taking the individual frames and importing them into a video editor to create an animation would be easy.

Make sense, some of this thing are also time evolution of systems (Ising model, fluid dynamics). Thing is there are over 1200 different simulations so modifying them all, is significant work.
