This project builds upon my previous fractal explorations in the Kaleidomonster series, employing a similar algorithm. The core process involves taking a simple shape, rotating it by a random degree, bisecting it, and mirroring the resulting half. This iteration, however, shifts to a 2D space with a restricted color palette and introduces another specific constraints. The rotation angles are limited to either 90 or 45 degrees. It's remarkable how much visual diversity emerges despite these narrow angular constraints.
I also wondered what would happen if I introduced asymmetry into the process. So, in some variations, I used different starting shapes on each side of the fractal. The rotation sequences remained the same, leading to similar overall structures, but the resulting shapes on each side differed, creating an interesting visual contrast.
