What is Patternodes?
Patternodes is a visual programming and generative design application for designers, artists, and creators. It allows users to quickly create complex patterns, organic textures, and intricate 3D forms using a flexible node-based graphical workflow.
With Patternodes, components like shapes, transforms, and image filters can be connected to build procedural networks that generate customizable 2D and 3D output. The graphical node interface and real-time visual feedback make experimentation and iteration intuitive.
Key features include:
- Flexible node-based workflow for creating generative graphics, patterns, and 3D models
- Extensive node library for mathematics, geometry, color, and image manipulation
- Real-time visualization of node network outputs
- Control over randomness and variation
- Export vector files, bitmaps, SVGs, or GLTF 3D models
- Plugin architecture to extend functionality
By empowering designers to create complex, customizable graphics programmatically, Patternodes bridges the gap between code and design.
