Pattern Generator – Create Seamless, Royalty-Free Patterns
- LeoPanthera 6y agoSaved tiles ignore the rotation setting and are always horizontal. Additionally, hitting Shuffle always shows the same patterns in the same sequence after refreshing the page.
- monkeydust 6y agoYea noticed shuffle cycles around too quickly. There are plenty of attributes to play with so that shouldn't happen. Otherwise I like it! Custom wallpapers perhaps
- POiNTx 6y agoThis is really great I love it. Also love the dithering tool [1]. The gameboy preset brings back great memories. [1] https://doodad.dev/dither-me-this https://doodad.dev/dither-me-this
- dvt 6y agoI remember when I first started making websites how hard it was to find patterns, and often times you'd have to make them yourself. It's sadly ironic how we have these great tools today for customizing, styling, etc., and yet much of the internet is a carbon copy and all websites, blogs, and social profiles seem to look exactly the same.
- ostrophonics 6y agomake your own kind of net! HTML and CSS are cool again
- cpach 6y agoThis! I just learned how to use Hugo to generate a static site and it’s just sooo much fun!
- OliverJones 6y agoPenrose-style aperiodic tiles?
- marcodiego 6y agoNice! I still miss the generated patterns that were available for backgrounds on geocities.
- brundolf 6y agoThese could be really useful for things like shader graphs where you're composing raw patterns into more complex effects
- notJim 6y agoCute as hell
- andrei_says_ 6y agoThe UX of this is very well executed. Thank you.
- russh 6y agoExcellent doodad.
- LASR 6y agoWhat is this UI framework? Very neat.
- astronautjones 6y agoman this is a beautiful achievement
- cush 6y agoDamn this is some delightful mobile UI
- Daub 6y agoI teach pattern design as part of an illustrator module. The patterns generated by this app are cool. But for serious pattern making look at the wallpaper designs of William Morris (at the bottom of the linked page is a good example). The craft lays in defining the limits of the repeat element. Sometimes even finding the repeat is tough work. Google his wallpaper designs and try it yourself. https://www.design-is-fine.org/post/47801446193/repeat-patterns-of-william-morris-designs/amp https://www.design-is-fine.org/post/47801446193/repeat-patte...
- adamsiem 6y agoFantastic. Added it to the design toolkit. It’s rare something new gets in there. This is a new category for me.
- bricemo 6y agoI thought this was amazing until I realized there’s only 12 base patterns. I expected the base patterns to be generated too, not hand authored. While you can make adjustments the changes are minor. Really undercuts the name of the tool. Sorry to be a downer.
- tartoran 6y agoIt is not claiming to be ‘the tool’, just a royalty free pattern generator that can be used in thousands+ of combinations. There are other similar tools out there and there are even open source tools that can be extended in custom ways. Only search for it, don’t expect things to come to you exactly how you want them.

- j_4 6y agoGreat UX, great tool. I wish "shuffle" truly randomized the settings, rather than cycled through a dozen presets. Maybe separate button to shuffle just the patterns and not the colors? Color shuffling is where most of the ugly outliers would come from.
- jslakro 6y agoEnjoyed your windowed GUI style and the dithering tool also. GW
- darkhorse13 6y agoAmazing project with a great UI/UX. Kudos to you.
