Random Spatter/Drip Shapes

[blue_fox]

I used the stumbleupon app for Firefox and I came across this little thing----> http://www.jacksonpollock.org/

It gave me an idea for Alchemy for random painted drops/shapes. And line thickness can change with pen speed. Extra options are some sliders to adjust thickness and such.

Hey, yeah I have come across this on stumbleupon as well and thought the same thing.
Definitely doable, nice blobby shapes you can get using it.

Looks like this is the original code here: http://stamen.com/projects/splatter
We could definitely use it for Alchemy

I'm glad I brought this up!

I'd like to see this as well.

Possible controls:
-Maximum blob size
-Flow speed
-Amount of "spray"

Here it is, a very early version at least

Give it a try and let me know what you would like to see.

I quite like the 'drops', so it might be nice to have a setting to draw only them.
For the colour, I am just using the Colour Switcher Affect which works nicely.

That's awesome! I'm gonna have a go at it right away.

This is a great start to a spatter module! What it needs now is some controls like pull shapes for size, spacing, spatter amount, etc. I can see me using this module a LOT!
