ArtMatic is new kind of program, an "Art Synthesizer", which makes
it possible for anyone to create vibrant images, psychedelic animations, and even
exciting new sounds. ArtMatic combines fractal and fractal-like images, random
textures, gradients, displacements maps, and tiles in exciting ways not possible
with any other product. It is easy and fun to use and requires no special skills
or knowledge. ArtMatic runs only on Power Macintosh and G3. (300 MHz or more recommended)
ArtMatic can create:
- Pictures - an incredible number of stunning pictures can be created during
even a short session of a few minutes. Be warned however - you may use up plenty
of disk space.
- QuickTime Movies - ArtMatic features several animation modes to render high
resolution QuickTime movies.
- Sounds - Strange, exciting sounds can be automatically generated from ArtMatic's
mathematical "structures". Don't worry, no mathematical skills required.
The sounds are created by circling the system surface 440 times per second. A
sequencer and rhythm generator are built-in.
Not only is it just plain fun to watch ArtMatic invent and evolve graphical
worlds, it can also be used more seriously to:
- Design your own flyers and CD covers
- Create textures and terrain maps for Bryce and backgrounds for Photoshop
- Design pictures to be used as filters or displacement maps in MetaSynth
- Create background tiles for your web pages
- Create animations and sounds for your live performances, Techno parties or
art clips.
- Design original fabric and decorative motifs
- Create sound samples materials for MetaSynth
ArtMatic is available now for downloading. Without a serial number, ArtMatic
will run in demo mode for a limited amount of time. You can order serial numbers
on line for the introductory price of $79.
