Description
A Background Generator that generates different types of backgrounds to be used as Photo Layers or in Animation Software.
It comes with 4 MODES.
MODE 1 - Makes Gradient Backgrounds
MODE 2 - Makes a few Basic Shapes with Kaleidoscope
MODE 3 - Makes Interesting Pics Using Tiling
MODE 4 - Same as MODE 3, but no Tiling used
You can also add Distortion which has 5 different sliders for control.
The last 3 sliders gives you MASK MODE which turns your creation into a High Contrast B+W image. You have full control on how this will look.
I recommend using the 20 Presets included as a starting point and playing around with the settings until you get a feel for them. Using the random button does NOT produce good results.
This Generator should be used with a white Canvas in MODES 1 + 2. MODE 3 works well using Photos. However if you do load a High Contrast B+W Mask, you can get some really neat results.
