Aperiodic Tiling I, III and IV
From Ultrafractal Wiki
Aperiodic Tiling I, III and IV are Transformations in sam.ufx.
Contents |
What is it?
These transformations produce families of aperiodic tilings. They are produced by successive deflations (each tile is cut into smaller tiles). Various deflations of the same tiles produce different tilings.
Parameters
(the parameters are those of Aperiodic Tiling I) :
Trapezoïd/Rhombus Deflation
The deflation mode for each tile.
Mode
Choose which tiles you want to be visible (the other ones are assigned solid color). The "Frame" mode is intended to be used with Gradient for Aperiodic Tiling I&II. In the "Mosaic" mode, all the points belonging to the same tile are assigned the same color. This color correspond to the color of the region of the image which is "under" the tile. It gives a kind of mosaic.
Mapping Center/Rotation/Magnification
Define which portion of the original image will be mapped on the tiles.
Mask
Enables you to mask some tiles (ie assign them solid color). There are different mask shapes. You can modify the mask with "Invert Mask ?" and "Mask Center/Rotation/Magnification".
Stabilize ?
When enabled, all the mapped images have the same orientation, regardless of the orientation of the tile. Useful for light effects.
Number of Iterations
The number of successive deflations used to produce the tilings. If you would like a smaller tiling, you have better increase this parameter instead of zooming out. It'll prevent you from encountering the "edge" of the tiling.
Example
You should look at the examples for Penrose Tilings, since these transformations work quite similarly.
