- Hello!
-
- This is a demo version of MapTrix, a new program developed by The Art
- Machine. What is MapTrix? Well, it's a fractal generator unlike any
- other, offering a variety of fractal effects, in addition to some
- image processing tools, all aimed at helping you create textures and
- backdrop images for video, 3D rendering or any other graphic work.
-
- This program REQUIRES 2.04, so don't even attempt to run it on a
- 1.2/1.3 machine. (Although the lucky 3.0 owners should have no
- problem).
-
- MapTrix is a program with a lot of room for exploration. Many of the
- functions available have multiple "styles", each yeilding different
- effects. Additionally, you can experiment with some of the image
- processing functions to smooth out, emboss, or convolve any
- interesting images you create. (And the handy UNDO function makes
- experimeting with image processing a possibility, finally!)
-
- This is just a demo, so don't expect to generate full size images.
- Although, there is no reason you can't use the program as-is to
- create interesting, (and some seamless), repeating brush maps.
-
- I'd especially like to hear feedback from Vertex users regarding the
- uses of MapTrix. If you have any comments, criticisms or opinions,
- pass 'em my way.
-
- Enjoy!
