| Mystica 4 | |
|
W9x/Me/2000/NT/XP |
| Shareware | |
Location on CD: software/windows/multimed/mystica/ | |
Mystica is a versatile image generator capable of creating custom images for a variety of projects. Rather than designing standard images, the program allows you to produce actual artwork. In addition to basic 2D designs, Mystica features a built-in 3D engine. You can render an image at any size, export it as a graphic and optionally post it to an online gallery. 3D images are uniquely interactive, and can be explored in real time.
Mystica's 2D editor includes six different algorithms, each generating its own image style. You can configure the sequence setting for managing the complexity of your scene. An interesting feature is the Chaos function, which allows you to add chaotic structures. In addition, you can customise the colour scheme, mix linear and exponential colours, zoom in, zoom out, move, rotate the image 90 degrees, and more. Image files may be exported as a bitmap graphic for use in other applications.

Add or remove equipment from the rack easily, making your system simple or as complex as you like û you get sequencers, effects units and all sorts. One fun feature is patching with 'virtual cables' û wow, that's a lot better than fighting with knotted dangly bits all in the wrong holes.
In this demo version save/export is disabled and the program quits after 20 minutes. The full version of Reason comes with a sound bank of more than 1Gb, while the demo version has a much smaller compilation.
