Install

git clone {me}

npm run dev

Usage

From the generator/ directory run node test to generate a single gif animation. It will be automatically saved in the generator/ folder. To create multiple outputs at once, simply go to generator/test.js and modify the sketchCount variable. Then run node test as usual.

Output description

Output is a 5 frame gif animation, 1000x1000 pix, generated from a randomly selected asset image. All images are stored inside generator\assets\midjourney with subfolders corresponding to 4 different themes:

• citizen (35% chance)
• cityscape (35% chance)
• covers (25% chance)
• scenes (5% chance)

Each image has a parametrized effect stack applied to it. There are 5 different effect stacks:

• monochrome dither (20% chance)
• tinted dither (20% chance)
• color dither + pixel sorting (20% chance)
• pixel sorting + color dither (20% chance)
• abstract dither (20% chance)

Most notable generation parameters include:

• underlaying asset image (910 options)
• effect stack type (5 options)
• dither parameters (10 standard, 19 special)
• 3-bit color palette (8 options)
• pixel sorting mode, type and order (24 options)
