Generative design tools

Each of these was made in Blueprint from a short description. They run in your browser, with sliders, presets and export. Open one, get your own copy, or describe the tool you need.

Halftone generatorDots, lines or crosses, one ink or two overprinted, on a noise field or on your own picture. Try the one below, then describe the halftone tool you actually need.
Dither generatorOrdered and error-diffusion dithering on your own image or on a noise field, with pixel size, levels and a two-color palette. The classic Mac look is one preset away.
Interactive
ASCII art generator for logosImport a logo, extrude it in 3D and draw it in ASCII characters. It spins on its own or follows your mouse. Move your pointer over it.
Op art generatorStripes shifted row by row into concentric diamonds, circles, squares or stars, tapering from left to right, for a 60s optical vibration. Animated, with a new variation in one click.
Topographic map generatorContour lines from a noise field or from an image, stepped or smooth, with tinted bands and scattered dots. It moves slowly, like a map that breathes.
Pattern generatorTruchet tiles that turn into mazes, organic curves or Bauhaus blocks, and symmetric charts in the style of antique cross-stitch. Pick a preset, change a slider, or describe your own.
Cross stitch pattern generatorA symmetric two-color chart that fills the frame, in the style of antique filet-crochet and cross-stitch samplers. Press Generate for a new one, or change the border, the motifs and the stitch.
$Math Plot Grid: A mathematical function sampled on a coarse rectangular grid and thresholded to black and white, producing aliased moiré staircases, animatable.$
Moiré pattern generatorA math function sampled on a grid that is too coarse for it, then cut to black and white. The pattern it can’t represent turns into moiré: staircases, bands and rings that move.
Interactive
Pixel art pattern generatorPixel art built from zones of dither, chevrons, rings and bands, mirrored four ways like a totem. Draw on it: the brush paints new zones, mirrored too.
Circuit board pattern generatorPCB layouts and schematics for backgrounds, posters and interfaces: chips and parts wired by routed traces, on blueprint blue, a dark board or paper. Press Generate for a new board.
Isometric illustration generatorIsometric line-art scenes: a cylinder, cube, sphere or stack of discs on platforms, surrounded by blocks and wide orbits, drawn as clean wireframes with hidden lines removed.
Interactive
Kinetic typography generatorType a letter: it is drawn with vertical dashed lines that swell where the glyph is. Move your pointer over it and the lines swell, carve or push away.
Interactive
Cross stitch effect generatorA full-frame field of cross stitches gathered in clusters, drifting slowly. Move your pointer over it: you sew colored stitches that come undone after a few seconds.
