I have added buttons for finding the closest prime-numbers for the waves in order to avoid them to align.
Yeah I'm aware of the prime thing, but the values don't need to be prime to be relative primes. Thing is, close but not exact alignment is desireable in this case due to the 1571 period of the onion like layers. All three values should be near miss factors. Having a smallish LCF like 2 or 5 is insignificant. What's more important is the rate of deviation between each layer. So if the actual period between layers is 1571, then the coloring algorithm between spirals becomes the difference to this value. Using my next set of experimental values,
Hue=1571
Saturation=522 (*3=1566)
Brightness=315 (*5=1575) or 316 (*5=1580)
The onion layer increment becomes:
Hue = -1
Saturation = -5
Brightness = +4 or +9
Color cycling each frame on top of this will have the effect of retrograde cycling especially noticeable with hue. The pallet itself will appear to change independently of iteration depth. Otherwise if I didn't take period into account, each layer wuld vary wildly from the next and the entire zoom sequence would look like fruit salad.
Try tweaking your periods. You can vastly change the color patterns in a Seahorse or Elephant valleys, or even make a spiral go chameleon like and nearly disappear!
= = = = = = = = =
My general strategy for "normal" zoom sequences is to forgo primes in "normal" zoom movies for the Fibbonacci sequence. The series diverges on the golden ratio between consecutive terms and it is proven that any three consecutive terms (besides 1) in the sequence are relatively prime.
1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21-34-55-89-144...
Brightness is the low value, saturation is the middle, and hue the highest.
Funny thing. The golden ratio minus one is it's reciprocal. Plus one is it's square.
