Repeating Motif Generator ReviewSuperb - didn't do what I wanted, but brilliant anyway - Version: 3.0.4, 1/13/2008 03:13PM PST

Martin Turner--2008
I downloaded this app thinking it would turn photographic textures into tessellated textures.

That's not what it does.

What it does do is create complex repeatable patterns based on mathematics which you control graphically (so you don't need to know any maths) but which you can also edit algorithmically (either because you understand the maths, or it's just fun to experiment.

It's simple to use, produces gorgeous results, and has a tiny footprint. And it's free.

It doesn't really get much better than this.

Repeating Motif Generator ReviewI Love this Fun Toy! - Version: 1.0.6, 1/20/2007 09:18PM PST

This is a Complex Lissajous Figure Generator (and Colorer) used to create Abstract looking perfectly tiled Background Images. I Didn't need the Manual (I probably won't) but I Am an Audio/Electronics Technician and I recognized Lissajous Figures right away!

3 audio signals are mixed together and combined to create the overall left/right movement of the pen while 3 different audio signals are mixed together and combined to create the up/down movement Component of the pen. The pen traces a Complex repeating pattern which you can then color in. Kind of like a Spirograph ....

You will need the Manual: but It's Quite fun to alter things and See what happens ...

Recommend to the Developer that all 3 Sub-oscillators on Both X and Y axis be allowed to be switched from Sine to Triangle or Sawtooth or Square or Pulse waveforms. Implement ONE waveform on ONLY one Sub for each axis to start with and add extra Wave Shapes and extra channels as you go along.

Also: would like to hear the mixed Waveforms in the Speakers: horizontal in the Right Channel and Vertical in the Left Channel.

I'm not associated with the developer or the application at all, but I have written a quick start guide which I have sent to the developer. I'm not sure when it's going to happen but they're going to distribute it with the application, so at least you'll be able to get going with the application with some expectation as to what's going to happen.

In the interim you can get the guide from http://www.harbey.dircon.co.uk/Quickstart_guide.zip

"There is no problem if you are not good at drawing, "

Only problem is that if you're not good a mind-reading, you'll get nowhere fast with this. Looks neat but at least a little sample tutorial would go a long way.

"All controls are disabled. I can do nothing ! This software is useless !!" --- Wait wait wait. Please read below before you drag an application icon to the Trash.

  • You can edit master motif or repeating motif after you create the one. All controls are disabled if there is not a master motif or a repeating motif to edit in the list.
  • You can create master motif or repeating motif by clicking a '+' button below the list that exists at the left side of the window.

Repeating Motif Generator Commentaryworth every penny - Version: 1.0, 12/22/2006 12:24PM PST

Is this program some kind of sick joke or what? There is not even a clue as to how to do anything with it. None of the controls do anything -- they all seem to be unavailable. Saving a file just saves a .png of the programs own info panel. Utterly useless and a waste of bandwidth.
