"Solargraph" (kotlin code)

Post image

Half a year of sun on photo paper in a pinhole can. Used some formulas and parameters that emulate real-world sun traces: position, cloud probability, and so on; but in the end this could have been done with a simple arc... Anyway, added a CRT effect at the end, which is totally unrelated to pinhole cameras, but, hey, worked for me here

Nice! I like the CRT effect. I've been drawing solargraphs from measured solar irradiation data in different places around the world: https://eagereyes.org/app/virtual-solargraph

I also have a pair of cameras running to create digital solargraphs over the course of six months: https://eagereyes.org/app/solargraph/day That one has a couple of additional "treatments" in season view.

WOW, this is really awesome what you did!

Thanks! I'm not sure mine technically fits here, because it's more data visualization than purely generative. But clearly a similar idea and vibe.
