amazing! reminds me a bit of the r4 visualizer good work

This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen on here! Yes it's a big download but it seems to be worth it for 2 hours worth of an awesome background.. Any clue if this can be used in videos? As in someone talking with a desktop in the background and jsut having this on it? I've been considering doing so and if I was going to this would definitely be used for it if possible. Thanks!

It's possible, but...
A) Anything in real time over 720p would take up a large portion of system resources. Defeating the purpose of having it as a background desktop application.
B) Having only one source of seed could create some really bland/ugly fractals.
C) Freezing the math could cause errors. Or could create repeat patterns after every freeze.
D) Some of this is over my head and I'm lazy about learning it.

got it. its still pretty cool but the file is huge.

wondering if this sort of thing can be done as a non-video type of deal

The original software used to generate the video is based on fractal computations. Which produce "random" designs guided by selection and other user factors. If you are interested at all in that check out the electric sheep website.

This background is a recording of and 1080p upscale of two hours of viewing that fractal computation based on seeds from other workers (credit in the first few seconds of the video).

So while the wallpaper video I have uploaded here will eventually loop after two hours it was based on a random process.

Sorry if the description was misleading.

are the images generated randomly or is it just a collection of 1080p wallpapers?

i dont see how each image could be unique unless each image was generated randomly.
