A short journey into making a pattern generator
In this short project I am exploring the FX map node. I wanted to use it to generate a tiling plant based pattern that has unique elements that are not repeating. It was a fun short journey with (of course) a few detours. As always I can't express enough how much I love Substance Designer <3 <3 <3
Basic setup. Discovered the power node seems numerically unstable :( so multiply values by themselves works better
Generate randomly distributed ferns each with unique parameters
Adding twigs at the tip of each fern
small detour because I miss rainy days
rainy and moody
small detour because I realized fractals can be used to generate shapes of countries and continents based on Mandelbrot's "How long is the coast of Britain?
Back to adding the stylized flowers and changing the random distribution of ferns to a grid with slight random rotations
