Show HN: A pattern generator with 1300 shapes and 300 dpi
- andronov04 5y agoHi! It took me three hours to make a free pattern generator using 1,300 shapes. You can download in large resolution.
- anonfunction 5y agoVery cool! I see most of your projects have source on GitHub, will you be sharing the code for this as well?
- jonifico 5y agoThat would be awesome ! Please :)
- andronov04 5y agoYep,soon
- epilys 5y agoGood job! Very well put together! My only suggestion would be to tweak down the repetitiveness a bit; perhaps add some hard coded variations/motifs and generate upon them? Overall tool.graphics has very nice aesthetics. Do you have an rss feed or github account we can follow or just the mailing list newsletter? (btw: You should make a mastodon account!)
- andronov04 5y agoThanks! You can subscribe the newsletter on main page.
- preya2k 5y agoCan't subscribe to the newsletter :( Getting a timeout error in the Newsletter modal.

- quickthrower2 5y agoNice, although random some look very artistic and purposeful
- sourcecodeplz 5y agoThese look great and are exactly what I needed today. Life is strange!
- albert_e 5y agoExcellent How about a few variants with ... 1. Gradients, 2. Transparency, 3. Lines/curves, 4. Lissajious patterns, 5. Fractals, 6. Zentangles Just giving you some ideas.
- andronov04 5y agoWow thanks for these ideas!
- andybak 5y ago> 300 DPI That seems a strange thing to claim in this context. I can make a 300 DPI image that's 1px by 1px. It's the number of pixels that counts for raster images - not the "suggested output size" (which is what DPI essentially is without further context)

- kristjank 5y agoThis is awesome for generating background patterns for websites.
- buro9 5y agoNice, reminds me of the Büro Destruct designer: https://burodestruct.net/work/bdd-buro-destruct-designer https://burodestruct.net/work/bdd-buro-destruct-designer which was available here (YMMV): https://burodestruct.net/bdd/ https://burodestruct.net/bdd/
- andronov04 5y agoThanks for sharing, interesting
- namanyayg 5y agoGreat, when are you releasing the NFT? :^)
- andronov04 5y agoNFTartists ready to collaborate ;) hello@tool.graphics
- zepn 5y agoExcellent! Perhaps offer to save as PNG rather than JPEG, for these?
- andronov04 5y agothx, I think about it
- LysPJ 5y agoThis is great. I particularly like the Bauhaus styles. Excellent work :) Kudos for the SVG download option too!
- andronov04 5y agoThanks!
- keville 5y agoRandomness can lead to unexpectedly-identifiable outputs: the "Chubby Yettie" generated graphic[0] has what almost looks like a swastika in the upper-left corner. Might want to be careful about checking resulting aggregated outputs from this code. [0] https://imgur.com/a/502xTOU https://imgur.com/a/502xTOU
- asimpletune 5y agoHi, lovely work, thanks for sharing! Is there a link to a repo somewhere? I'd like to use it, but I think in my use case I need to be able to specify the exact RGBs for the color palette. Thanks again!
- joelclaudio 5y agoGreat work. Really like semi-randomised pieces of art like these. I did something similar a couple of years ago for a background App for Android, while exploring Kotlin, but more based on pre-defined "patterns" instead of shapes.

- ASalazarMX 5y agoHaving a work iPhone, this is what i most miss from Android: you can compile cute projects like these even if they aren't on the store.
- joelclaudio 5y agoI went back to Android from iPhone for a lot of reasons. This was one of them. :)
