Description
Lumen is a kaleidoscopic object spewer by Terry Dorff. It spews nested colored boxes.
Lumen just draws squares one inside (or outside) the other, the color it uses for each square comes from a palette with the 3D shading already built in, so the shapes it creates take on a dramatic 3D appearance.
Lumen uses the palette shown below.
Unfortunately, just a few years after producing Lumen, on April 8, 1991, Terry was murdered by David Sumner and Reginald Tweed, though David Sumner was aquited due to Reginald Tweed's refusal to testify against him.
