Delaunay Triangulation pattern maker
This project allows you to create beautiful high quality images featuring a nice pattern created from Delaunay triangulation and applying a flat surface shader. These images could be used for:
- Wallpapers
- Blog post headers
- Magazines
- Posters
- And more
The tool provides export to PNG and SVG formats. With SVG format you could create an image of virtually any size, even as big as a billboard. Go crazy with it!
Show me some results!
Here are a few of most obvious uses for the tool:
And I made a video on Youtube of the tool in action, creating 11 wallpapers in under 7 minutes:
You can also see some examples of the patterns made with this tool in this repository in the examples folder (the first one had text overlay added in Photoshop):
Using
- To add a new light press Enter key on your keyboard or increase count manually via the slider.
- To "drop" or "pick up" the currently selected light, press Space bar.
- To change colors of the lights, change the ambient and diffuse color controls.
- To export as SVG select SVG in the "renderer" panel and then export the image via "Export big" button. Then navigate to "File -> Save as" in the browser's menu to save the resulting image to your computer.
