On their own, QQL parameters can clearly influence the visual range of rendered seeds. However, it isn’t until we put two or more traits together that we can discover both a narrower and more targeted aesthetic that can recurrently generate seeds that share a similar composition.
Understanding which parameter combinations are required to generate a certain style of QQL seed, or what traits consistently work well together, is an essential aspect of QQL curation and exploration. This, in turn, can help us to find our own stylistic preferences within the algorithm and a solid base for discovering our favorite seeds.
Here is a diverse set of 10 parameter presets that not only work well together, but also produce often-similar seeds. These seeds have been extensively tested and explored by many parametric artists and are an excellent stepping stone into QQL curation.
