Flam3D

Flam3D is flam3 with the Apophysis 7X “3D hack” added, so it renders the 3D flames of Apophysis 7X as well as classic 2D flames. It adds:

a z coordinate and the 3D camera (cam_pitch, cam_yaw, cam_perspective, cam_zpos, cam_dof)
Apophysis’ pre_/post_ variation ordering and var_color
the 34 built-in 3D variations of Apophysis 7X, the 18 3D variations of its plugin pack, and the circlize, Spherical3D, scry_3D and zeta3D plugins
Apophysis’ handling of xaos dead ends (an xform whose links to all xforms are 0 ends the batch of iterations instead of aborting the render)

MuseRND

MUseRND composes music from pure randomness. Every note of the melody, every chord, bass note, drum hit and extra instrument starts life as random bytes read from /dev/urandom. An evolutionary search then breeds those bytes, keeping the variations that a set of music-theory detectors rate as more musical, until a song emerges. Nothing is copied from existing music and no notes are written by rules: the rules only judge, the randomness creates.
—
Songs are saved as Standard MIDI and uncompressed MusicXML, ready for any DAW, notation program or synthesizer, together with the genome (the evolved bytes) so every song can be rebuilt exactly. A browser UI lets you compose, listen, edit and keep a library of songs.

FFarmgo

FFarmgois a cross-platform port of Filter Farm, Kees van Prooijen’s evolutionary image filter for Adobe Photoshop, written in pure Go.
—
Filter Farm does not ship a fixed set of effects. It grows filters. Each filter is a random expression tree built from a weighted grammar of operators: noise, plasma fractals, blends, switches, curves and coordinate warps. The tree’s leaves read the source picture, so a filter warps, recolours and textures the image it is applied to. You look at a grid of nine filters, rate the ones you like, and breed the next generation. The grammar learns from your ratings, and the filters drift toward your taste.

Timelapse

A small Go app that turns a video into a time lapse by blending frames together: every second of footage (one group of frames) becomes a single blended frame, using any of ffmpeg’s blend modes.
