The Paper Mandala generative art collection, created with pure code, is a series on the fxHash platform that explores esoteric transmission. What if the transmission of certain teachings directly from teacher to student could only happen between human and machine?
A collaboration with P1xelboy and Paper Buddha. Beautiful paper mandalas made purely with code in Paper Buddha's style.
Features include:
27 different palettes
3 different mandala types (Lotus, Starburst Style 1 and Starburst Style 2)
Four sections of the mandala with one of 10 different pattern types (Dots, Checks, Crosses, Triangles, Stripes, Circles, Polygons, Lazers, Quadrants and Hatching)
4 different direction types of shadow - of varying length
Randomly placed star background
Randomly placed Nebula
Possible Special Pattern Effect with darker stippling pattern
Possible Nirvana Effect where random colors are added to one of either Golden, Silver, Bronze, Blue Moon or Sea Green palettes.
Using only code, this produces a unique output which does take a few seconds to load.
