Welcome to the page where you can try out a new tool I'm currently developing. This is a work in progress, so you may encounter bugs, unfinished features, or quirky controls along the way — it’s all part of the process!

Your feedback, bug reports, or ideas for improvement would be greatly appreciated and can help refine the tool before its release. Feel free to share your thoughts using with me using the contact form.


ABOUT THE TOOL:

The new tool I’m developing is called FLAKE. This is a generative parametric tool that creates complex symmetric patterns from shapes using Signed Distance Functions (SDF). It combines randomness, noise functions, and mathematical transformations to produce generative graphics reminiscent of snowflakes, crystals, or organic structures, with a subtle animation effect where the shapes continuously transform in size based on dynamic noise.

The program offers a selection of different geometric shapes to choose from, and users can also upload their own SVG shapes by simply dragging and dropping them onto the canvas.

FLAKE is ideal for exploring abstract compositions, generative textures, and decorative chaotic patterns. At this stage, the only export option available is saving as a high-resolution PNG image, with more features planned for future updates.
