Frame from the animation: rounded white blobs on black, merging and splitting like the wax in a lava lamp squeezed into a square

Here are 2 new Quartz Composer compositions. Both of them are based on the same kaleidoscope patch from my last post, but are processed before the final rendering. This gives some interesting visual effects that are quite distant to the original kaleidoscopes.

As usual, sources of this Sharp scan-lines composition are provided. And for information, its patch looks like this:

Quartz Composer scan-lines patch, the Sunbeams output passed through an eightfold reflected tile, a crop and a hatched screen before the billboard

Again, you can download the Squared lava-lamp source , and here is preview of its patch:

The lava-lamp variant of the same patch, with an Edge Work patch in place of the hatched screen

    Second movie is great, with lots of abstract shapes that could well be logos, and even shapes looking like pictograms.

      @djib: if all my other compositions looks simple and stupid, squared lava-lamp is the happy outcome of all these experimentations. Don't know what this will become in the future, but I may recycle it in another project...
