upgrades on Twin Pictures

So today I published a new version of Twin Pictures. I added some interesting features.

First, for the second image, you can choose instead to use the first image in negative. So, just like the default settings with the Android logo, it creates a really great effect. You can really enjoy the dueling process for the two images with the negative option.

Here's an example with the Mortal Kombat Logo:

I also added new ways to split the screen for the images:

• Random: the original method, no real structure, it's spinning around at various speed
• Symmetry: this method splits the screen in two. So you see equally part of image 1 and image 2 at all time.
• Asymmetry: this method can look symmetrical on certain point of view, but not on the part shared by the images. At some point, you will not see one of the image.
• Symmetrical Yin Yang: this one is inspired by some pictures I showed in a previous post. The screen is split in two, but there's no axis of symmetry.
• Asymmetrical Yin Yang: just like asymmetry above, it splits the screen, but not necessary equally and without an axis of symmetry.

It's also possible to set the brightness. The minimum is 50% and by default it's at 100%.

Next upgrade:

I'm looking at options for the part of the screen where the images intersect. For now, there's a very small change between the images. But it's enough to be a rough one (but it will be an option). So, i'm planning 5-6 options just to give more choice to the users with the visual aspect.

A new live-wallpaper

Recently, I showed images about grouping points together to create a different kind of Voronoi diagram (see Merging Voronoi).

The case with two groups is very interesting because it splits the plane in two parts. I was first intrigued by what it would look like animated and then I imagined that if each group is associated with an image. It's possible to show parts of the first image where its group is visible and part of the second image where the second group is.

So I came up with a very simple live-wallpaper. All you need to do is select two images and let the animation do the rest. This is much more easier to use than the Weird Voronoi (Pro) with all the functions.

Here's some outputs:

(this one is the default, when you first start the live-wallpaper)
