Animated Mandalas (With Code!)

In some of the rare times where I create something small and cool, I love sharing it with other people :)

For context, I've been working on a video game and started looking into some loading screens. I got carried away a bit, but I loved the capabilities and parameters I could experiment with here!

Since my game is set in a Mystery Solarpunk world, I was aiming for brighter and lighter color schemes :).

I was surprised with how beautiful all the parameter combinations can be!

Code

So if you want to try it yourself, feel free to check out the following repo:

https://github.com/AB3000/processing-fun/tree/main/MandalaRunner

You will need to download Processing in order to run it. It's a nice open-source sketchbook language built on top of Java to draw some cool visuals :)).

If you end up creating something with it, please tag me so I can see your creations! B)

Also, if you happen to have a GitHub account, I would love it if you could star the repo as well (but no pressure on this!) :))

More Inspiration?

Tried a lineless one :) I regret that I didn’t believe in me and so it turned out sloppy, but I rolled with it and want to share it

Dark Rainbow Mandala

One of my floral mandala dice sets in a dark rainbow colour scheme. This material is actually reflective, so these appear even more bright and colourful when light shines directly on them. They also glow in the dark!

Numbers still to be painted - I'm not sure what colour to paint them so suggestions are welcome!

So I was bored and it occurred to me to draw something relaxing, and I ended up with a kind of mandala inspired by Sun?

I really like how it ended.

Off to visit family for the weekend and I made a couple of pendants for my aunt and cousin to thank them for putting us up and entertaining us. These are no bigger than an inch in any direction.
