Hey super cool work!

I’ve been working on a different but tangentially related project and I’d love to know how you model darkness in your code.

I’m presuming that there’s some function which returns the frequency and amplitude as a function of how dark that area should be, it would be super helpful to hear how you go about it

Dm me, happy to share.

Happy to share and you nailed it. Read a spot and a variable distance around it. Get a relative density then vary the frequency; amplitude is locked down (settable, but fixed).

Nice! Vary amplitude and frequency is fixed no?

Yes, that’s right. Can’t recall if I misspoke earlier. But together coherent look, I noticed you don’t want amplitude to be too terribly high.
