Beautiful spiraling sine waves of joy =)


Harmonographs have entranced humans since the beginning of interest in such things. As children we played with spirographs, and loved their beautiful formations. Have you ever wished you could see these creations in 3 Dimensions? We did. Which is why we made you this beautiful live wallpaper. this is a harmonograph with 3 pendulums: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfGUF_xPlTk=====================================Here are some examples of the images you can create by saving the picture with the widget: http://www.flickr.com/photos/65453407@N04/sets/72157636769191813/email us your pictures to be added to the set, to tweet them with the hashtag #mentalpad and we will add them :) =====================================In this application, please find one live wallpaper consisting of 4 simulated pendulums. With this package you may alter the frequencies and damping of the pendulums to suit your visual aesthetic. You may also alter the colors and rotation, as well as framerate, draw speed and density. We provide some pleasing templates to get you started on your own creations. You have the ability to rotate the drawings with your fingers and see them from all angles, in beautiful 3D, as they draw out hypnotically. At times you may like to set the draw speed and rotation to high levels. At other times, you may want them to be low. Sometimes you might mix them to see what is created. On install they will be set to low, but please feel welcome to alter the values. Please consider adding the control widget, which has been provided, to your homescreen. With this small, unobtrusive control, you may save screenshots of the current drawing and send them to your friends and loved ones, and the developers of this application please. You may also skip to the next drawing if you are impatient. We hope you enjoy your new 4 pendulum 3D harmonograph and return soon to see our future creations. be excellent to eachother.v 1.0.8: (currently in beta)- fixed a bug with the memory usage when generating random frequencies- added some optimization in the functionality used to generate the frequencies for the display of the harmonograph- added a more generic glconfig v 1.0.7:added daydream-ability :) v 1.0.6: fixed a display issue with the preference screens in 4.4 (kitkat).v 1.0.4: fixed a bug where the colors were not applied until the second drawing.

I have had this app for years and have enjoyed it the whole time. The only thing I really wish it had is more direct controls over the pendulum, amplitude phase, and decay. It's definitely still interesting to let it draw random shapes you can treat it like a inkblot test in some cases it's patterns somewhat mirror the real world. That aspect of it has more value when it happens randomly. I got a drawing that from one angle looked like a simple heart and from another a anatomical heart ❤.

This wallpaper looks awesome on my Note 2. It more than meets my criteria for anything that goes on my home screen: clean, beautiful, configurable. I use apex launcher, custom icons, and transparent widgets on my screens. This wallpaper looks great behind all that. You can completely control the background and line colors, rotation speed and line draw speed, not to mention the pendulum settings that control how the pattern is created on your screen. Seriously impressed, this is my new favorite wallpaper.

Crashes every time I adjust the settings on Nexus 7 - Uninstalled/Reinstalled several times already in 1 day.

Very lovely and fits well with any minimalist setup that still wants some movement in the back.
