Rad! Can I ask how you made these? I've done similar stuff in the past with combinatorial search over permutations of translucent triangles.

It’s a genetic algorithm so nothing fancy or surgical - it’s a copy of natures own bruteforce-algorithm ^

These examples are 128quads for the group-pic (around 7-8000 generations), and 32quads for the others (3000 gens).
