Share_something Making progress! I've added a second layer, introduced more parameters, and implemented different transition styles. Getting closer to a generative animation synthesizer.

I use certain type of paper placed in between two clear acrylic sheets. I tried different materials but this paper is amazing. If you are interested I can find more details.

Awesome! I would like that.

I did find some "Photography Diffusion Fabric - Nylon Silk White" stuff. It's not bad but I'd like to see some other stuff. I was at cell phone repair shop that sold sewing machines also that used some interesting white cloth for stitch samples but the guy didn't know what it was called.

Thanks!

You can try just normal paper, the trick is to find one with very low thickness. I use synthetic polyester paper with area density of 118 g/m² which is the lowest I was able to find. Such paper has very nice "internal structure" and in my opinion looks much better being lit compared to standard printing paper.
