Patternodes

Patternodes is a groundbreaking software that has completely transformed the way graphical patterns, illustrations, and animations are created through repetition. One of the standout features of this software is the ability for users to define a step-by-step process or a recipe by utilizing nodes that represent the operations involved. These nodes can be connected by drawing links, resulting in a highly flexible and powerful interface. In contrast to traditional Illustrator-type editors, Patternodes offers a unique interface that provides numerous advantages for users.

One of the most notable benefits is the ability to instantly make changes to any aspect of the pattern using sliders. Whether it's adjusting color, spacing, scaling, rotation, or repetition count, modifications can be made without the need to undo or redo any steps. This seamless editing experience makes Patternodes akin to a parametric CAD-system in the field of graphic design.

Patternodes also prioritizes user-friendliness. Making adjustments to the pattern and visualizing the outcomes is incredibly easy. The pattern tile is displayed in the bottom preview view, where any changes made are immediately reflected and repeated in real-time. This quick feedback mechanism allows users to gauge the final product effectively.

Although Patternodes can be utilized for creating any type of repeated graphic, it is specifically designed for pattern creation. The software features numerous nodes that automate tasks, such as seamlessly repeating elements at the edges of the tile or randomizing different aspects of the elements to inject life into the pattern. This streamlines the pattern creation process considerably.

Lastly, once users have finished creating their pattern, they have the flexibility to copy the pattern tile to their preferred illustration or graphics application. Additionally, the patterns can be exported as vector graphics or bitmap image files, with complete freedom to choose the desired resolution. Patternodes empowers users to take ownership of their patterns and effortlessly share them across various platforms.
