§Wassily Algorithms
Specialized rendering algorithms and advanced techniques for generative art. This crate provides mathematical transformations, 3D rendering capabilities, and specialized algorithms that extend the core wassily functionality with advanced artistic and computational techniques.
§Key Components
endo2d: 2D endomorphisms and mathematical transformationssphere: 3D sphere rendering with lighting and texture mapping
§Mathematical Transformations
The endomorphism functions provide various mathematical transformations commonly used in generative art and computational graphics:
use wassily_algorithms::*;
use wassily_core::pt;
let point = pt(0.5, 0.3);
// Apply various transformations
let swirled = swirl(point);
let polar = to_polar(point);
let heart_shaped = heart(point);§3D Rendering
The sphere rendering system provides realistic 3D sphere rendering with:
- Texture Mapping: Apply 2D textures to 3D surfaces
- Lighting: Multiple light sources with diffuse and specular reflection
- Rotation: 3D rotation around multiple axes
- Perspective: Realistic perspective projection
use wassily_algorithms::*;
use wassily_core::*;
// Create a texture canvas
let texture = Canvas::new(256, 256);
// Set up 3D scene
let scene = SphereScene::basic(pt3(0.0, 0.0, 100.0), &texture);
// Render to output canvas
let mut output = Canvas::new(800, 600);
render_sphere(&scene, &mut output);§Applications
These algorithms are particularly useful for:
- Fractal Systems: IFS (Iterated Function Systems) with endomorphisms
- 3D Visualization: Realistic rendering of 3D objects
- Mathematical Art: Visualization of complex mathematical functions
- Advanced Effects: Specialized transformations for artistic effects
§Performance Considerations
These algorithms are computationally intensive and are best used for:
- High-quality final renders
- Specialized mathematical visualizations
- Cases where the advanced features justify the computational cost
