Delaunay Triangulation pattern maker

This project allows you to create beautiful high quality images featuring a nice pattern created from Delaunay triangulation and applying a flat surface shader. These images could be used for:

• Wallpapers
• Blog post headers
• Magazines
• Posters
• And more

The tool provides export to PNG and SVG formats. With SVG format you could create an image of virtually any size, even as big as a billboard. Go crazy with it!

Show me some results!

Here are a few of most obvious uses for the tool:

And I made a video on Youtube of the tool in action, creating 11 wallpapers in under 7 minutes:

You can also see some examples of the patterns made with this tool in this repository in the examples folder (the first one had text overlay added in Photoshop):

Using

• To add a new light press Enter key on your keyboard or increase count manually via the slider.
• To "drop" or "pick up" the currently selected light, press Space bar.
• To change colors of the lights, change the ambient and diffuse color controls.
• To export as SVG select SVG in the "renderer" panel and then export the image via "Export big" button. Then navigate to "File -> Save as" in the browser's menu to save the resulting image to your computer.

TODO

There are a few things that can be improved to make this tool even better.

• ~~Add varying depth of the vertices of the triangles~~ (Done as of 4/15/2014)
• ~~Add more color variation and presets~~ (Done as of 4/25/2014 with the randomizer functionality)
• Add text overlay and customizer for text

If you can do any of these things - feel free to make a pull request!
