Description

Misty Blossom is a single output from a procedural algorithm that I developed using Adobe Substance Designer during my years designing seamless patterns for surface pattern design.

I consider the work generative, even though no code was used, and a scan of a real watercolor texture has been incorporated. The algorithm I designed incorporates randomness, can output infinite variations, and even the real watercolor texture has been jumbled about and made seamless before being overlaid.

This was a special algorithm to me when I first designed it because I consider it the first time I realized I could use a technique called a 'variable blur' to make it look like an image has been damaged with water. I went on to eventually use this technique (using code) in my Artblocks Curated Collection called Sudfah, and in many other purely generative pieces as well.
