Have you thought of making a wallpaper generator of it? It would be awesome to download the output as .png with different screen resolutions

PNG/JPG output is definitely on my wish list, since I'm going to be using this thing to generate header images for my blog posts and the whole "save as SVG > open in Illustrator > save as jpg" thing is going to get old really fast.

I haven't done much with the HTML5 canvas API yet though, and that seems like its what I'm going to have to use to rasterize the generated SVGs in the browser. Canvg[1] looks interesting, but I kind of doubt that it's going to support the noise filter (even imagemagick chokes on that one).

Weirdly, I had this exact same idea a little while ago and threw something together: http://polygonz.zaucetech.com/ its open source too!
