I tried to express the blinding light reflection on a summer day.

Trial of an extremely large number of lines.

A creative coding work made with the 'Processing'. It draws an image with a large number of color lines.

I tried to draw a 2D shape in repeat lines and columns with two 1D noises, not one 2D noise.

 

The 'Processing' example code.

This code does not display any images on the screen but generates image files in frames directory.

Please feel free to use this example code under the terms of the GPL.
To see other works based on my code is my pleasure. And my honor.
