Freeware In Animation

Even if it looks complicated to you, it is not necessary to understand how it exactly works to use TexRD ! You can take the advantage of the software by simply starting the calculation of the manifold given examples. Progressively, you will learn how to change simple parameters like the image size or its colors.

Any texture generated by TexRD can be tiled, i.e. juxtaposing the same basic texture so as to fill a given space. The texture will be perfectly adjusted to each other, edge to edge without join. Web pages backgrounds can also use pattern tiling.

TexRD is designed for graphic designers, cyber-artists, etc... Like a mathematical game, it showed also be of interest for science lovers as a powerful tool to create new original textures. The thrill of discovery is enhanced by the fact that reaction-diffusion patterns cannot be predicted by the theory (except for the simplest models). They require multiple trials associating chance, observations and attempts to find the rules governing the effects of the various parameters. You will discover completely novel textures, because there are so many combinations possible.

With TexRD, you will be able to create all kinds of abstract images for postal cards or front pages, bindings, paper bookmarks, windows wallpapers, as well as new ideas for decoration patterns. Computer graphics experts could also use such textures to cover virtual objects and make them look more realistic - real world is full of random patterns!
