Flame Painter: Sparkler effects!

Flame Painter is a procedural painting application by Peter Blaškovič available on http://www.escapemotions.com/.

There are three brush types in Flame Painter: Flame, Follow and Ribbon. Each produces an amazing variety of results depending on the settings chosen.

The images below show the results of incremental changes in brush settings, all of which result in various fireworks or sparkler effects. In each case, the changed setting is circled in red. Click any image to see it enlarged.

Flame Painter: Exploring small setting changes with big effects

This series of examples will give you an idea of the way very small changes in Flame Painter’s settings can produce very different effects. 

The starting point for the series was the color selection: a gradient of gold, aqua, red and violet, ending in dark blue. The last session’s brush settings were still there, so I began at that point: a  fairly long (Size=235) Ribbon brush with multiple nested orbits. The looping lasso-like edge of the brush has been circled: you can see the brush tail looping off to the left and then trailing off all the way up to the top of the image. The rather chaotic image is caused because of the whipping action of the brush: there are multiple rotations going on within it, creating unpredictable results.
