Gen · shape-grammar R&D — isometric cube-cluster generator (exploratory, not full-fidelity)
First-pass rule engine: a small fixed "Lego" alphabet (stem / branch3 / cap / slab) with per-face attachment rules, generated from a seeded PRNG so a seed number reproduces the same cluster. Cells reuse the same 3-face isometric cube primitive as the rest of the site, so they pick up the live reaction-diffusion coloring for free. Not aiming for recognizable car/person/TV silhouettes yet — this is the engine + a window into what it produces.
Unified Munker generator auto animate · on
Painter tip: use cool CMY-side dark vibration; avoid cad red in shadows. Let uneven Munker white spacing create optical colour instead of forcing pigment.

This keeps your original studio below. The target stage uses the same animated Munker controls and hex/cube colour system instead of replacing it.

Color wheel · CMY axis

Lights Y · M · C Earths R · G · B

Painter's category framework: the CMY anchors are Lights (yellow, magenta, cyan — they can read as neon and luminous). The RGB inverses are Earths (red, green, blue — they ground the painting). For shadows, reach for a tinted dark (Tinted shadows in the cube panel) instead of black — earths neutralised toward blue read as cool shadow, the painter's classic move.

Wheel calibration

Default places Y at top, with M/C set so each primary's additive complement (its RGB inverse) lands at exactly 180°. Drag the white dot, or click anywhere on the wheel.

Munker filter · illusion overlay

Lays lines over the wheel and every swatch. For the real illusion: tap "Try illusion preset" — it greyscales the cube and sets full-coverage alternating stripes so the grey cells appear coloured. Manual: set Spacing=0 and pick an alternating pattern (B/W or A/B) for full coverage.

Plotter inputs

Tonal centre · neutral middle ground

→

The centre is the neutral middle between A and B — its value depends on the blend model you pick. Mean & Lum gray are perceptual mids; Multiply/Screen match what you see when the colours physically overlap; Overlay/Darken/Lighten behave like Photoshop layer modes.

Selected hue · tonal ramp

Additive complement · tonal ramp

CMY + RGB · all-hue tonal grid

Click any swatch to select. Tone 0 = black, 100 = white, 50 = full chroma. Drag Tones up to 33 for fine ramps; drag Hue rows up for more in-between hues.

Additive blend ramp · A → A+B

Left = A alone; right = screen-blended result. Each step adds more of B's photons.
Minimal Palette · Tube Set Analyzer

Calibrated tube coverage

Pin colours to your palette (use "Pin to palette" in Plotter) — the analyzer will find the minimal tube set to mix them all.

Hue sector coverage · 24 sectors

Green sectors reachable from your tube set at ≥70% chroma. Grey = out of gamut with current tubes. Sectors score based on best 2-tube pigment mix.

Split primary recommendation

Pin colours to see whether a warm/cool split of any primary would expand your gamut.

Notes

Wheel uses a CMY-anchored hue mapping: Y, M, C are the named primaries; R, G, B are the secondaries (in additive light). Each hue's marker on the wheel sits at a position computed from the calibration sliders, so dragging Y/M/C changes the wheel geometry while RGB stay locked to true additive opposites.

"Tone" = lightness from 0 (black) to 100 (white) along a chroma-preserving ramp. 50 is full-chroma. Above 50 we add white (additive); below, we subtract toward black.

Pairs across the wheel are RGB inverses at full chroma — they sum to white when overlaid in screen blend mode (which is exactly additive on opaque pixels).
