Project Chameleon
Adaptive Camouflage Generation
Update III
In late 2019, work began on a new camouflage framework. High-cohesion Python modules and polymorphic classes have replaced the endless standalone functions and hardcoded constants of the original Project Chameleon camouflage project.
After additional years of writing image processing software for classes and a co-op, I opted for better opensource libraries. The new code runs with the power of OpenCV, NumPy, and Tkinter. Geometry functions have also been enhanced for speed and pixel accuracy.

On 2/1/2020, Eclipsegrafx LLC released a toy product printed in a camouflage pattern produced by my code, dubbed "Tigertarn."

In 9/2021, Eclipsegrafx LLC released this minifigure inspired by outfits from a popular video game and real-world events in the 2000s. He wears a summer version of a camouflage known as "SS-лето" or "Partizan," a modern Russian take on an infamous German pattern from WWII.

Writing a geometry program that recreates infinite randomized versions of this pattern was a challenge. I developed some new geometry capability to make my program's recreation follow the "rules" in the real pattern. These new capabilities in my code library helped for later patterns.
More Eclipsegrafx products have been released that use my random camo, printed on tiny custom weapons made by Brickarms LLC.
