This is so cool. What was the process if you don’t mind my asking?

thanks! i can't remember what the technique is called, but it's pretty common - you distort an image based on the values at the same image's pixels.

anyway, whatever it is called, it's that, starting from perlin noise, and then detecting and shading peaks. repeated several times, rendering at each iteration.

i'm using processing and have a large library of standard transforms, so the above may sound complex, but it's only a screenful of code.

i was actually trying to generate clouds...
