<p>Provided is a system for generating patterned images. The system comprises template selection means for selecting a shape template from a set of selectable shape templates, parameter selection means for selecting one or more parameters for modifying the selected shape template, and generating means for generating a patterned image according to the selected parameter(s) and a predetermined rule. The parameters may include the set of preassigned guiding parameters, the number of control points, and the colour(s) at predefined areas of the generated image. It may have a timing arrangement for modifying the selected parameter(s) at a user selectable time period so that the patterned image changes shape at said time period and thereby creating an animated effect. The guiding surface is any arbitrary shape in 2,3 or 4 dimensions. This guiding surface can be as simple as a circle, or line or any arbitrarily defined shape. There can be any number of guiding surfaces, the guiding surfaces are controlled by a number of parameters, determined by the shape designer. E.g. The parameters could be the radius of the circle, the length of a line, the angle of a line to a plane. Any number of these parameters can be exposed to the user of the software package, at the discretion of the shape designer.</p> |
