In a Spiral

Had a hearty meal at the newly opened carvery at my local garden centre.
Choice of turkey breast, beef pie or quiche. I chose the latter.
Lots of veg choices. I was a good boy and gave the chips and roast potatoes a miss.
Too high in potassium for me. I chose mashed spuds, green beans, peas, cauliflower and carrots.
Topped with lashings of gravy. Everything was perfectly cooked though just a bit on the cool side.

In the evening I was checking through the apps on my old iPod and deleting some I never use.
I was a bit peeved to find the iOS app HyperDroste I have on my old iPod was no longer downloadable. I had wanted to install it on the iPhone. That app takes any photo and turns it into an animated recursive spiral.
So I downloaded and had a play with the iOS app PhotoSpiralysis last night.
This only makes still spiral pictures.

For example

can be manipulated to become

or

IMG_0123

could become your worst nightmare

IMG_0125

It reminds me of the giant sand worm creatures from the film Dune.

  1. Brilliant. I enjoy playing with such stuff. I'll have a go in Blender, if I succeed it will be an animation. Recursive animations take a lot of memory but there is a node for limiting the recursions.
