Automated landscape 

by Richard

This project relates to a painting I made by algorithm when I was in school in 1971.

The steps are:
1. Draw a steep zig-zag line to make a mountain range
2. Draw a less steep zig-zag line to make a range of foothills
3. Draw a smoother zig-zag line to make rolling countryside
4. Extend the lines thinly to divide the space into geometric sections
5. Paint the sections using sky, mountain, hill and field colours

So cool to get that reference to the painting you did in 1971. I absolutely understand the translation (concept), but the result itself is great too. I just realise that in that case, you'd need three images to upload: the original inspiration from 1971, the Turtstitch stage display and the final embroidery.
