Blender third open movie project, code-named “Durian” is ramping up to production, and time is running out for the pre-sale campaign if you want to get your spot in the credits. This time the project is focusing on an adolescent audience with an epic-fantasy setting and a female protagonist (my son aptly dubbed this the “Chicks in Chainmail” genre). The only art yet available from Durian itself is the series of banner ads (by concept artist, David Revoy), but an impressive creative team has already been announced.

It's quite an eye opener.
Direct link to the video TracyAnne mentions: http://vimeo.com/6143607

That's beautiful. I love the chaos part. I would love to have a copy of the final chaos just before he switches to MyPaint to fill it out. That's just beautiful.
sorry I forgat to post the link.
I downloaded and tried Alchemy, it's an interesting application, it'a currently in alpha, written in java.
Sitting here listening to Cargo Cult's Alchemy while testing Alchemy
Any interesting results to share so far? :-)
I'm still have a bit of trouble getting it to work the same as the bloke's video, I've pulled a couple of semi interesting images out of it, but only after saving to bitmat then colouring bits to see what came up.

I was playing the music (other than because I like it) because there is an option to use sounds picked up by the computer's microphone to modify the chaos.

You can connect it to a Bitmap editor, and to a Vector editor, in my case GIMP and Inkscape, and by selecting the desired one feed the current chaos image to that editor.
