Above the clouds

on 27 Oct 2021

% Remix:

% - make surface more peaky & widen the distribution

% - Make clouds denser

% - Make peaks darker

a=200;

b=(.5:a)'/a;

c=(-cos(b*2*pi)+1).^.2;

d=ones(a);

f=b-.5;

r=f'.^2+f.^2;

% Asymmetric Perlin-ish noise

s=@surf;

% Make mountains

m=50;

s(b,b',abs(ifftn(exp(7i*rand(a))./r.^.9)).*(c*c')*30)

l=(m:-1:1)/m;

% Add clouds:

hold on

for n = 1:m

s(b,b',d*n,d+cat(3,1,1,1),EdgeA=0,FaceA=max(.2,l(n)));

end

% Scale the image right in the window

zlim([-a/2,a])

% Pretty:

shading flat

colormap(flip([b,b,b]))

camva(5)

axis off
