Abstract drawing / painting software?

Isaiah Sherman

There was a program released within the past 2-3 years that I messed around with that allowed you to make a bunch of random shapes. It also had real-time symmetry in it.

I think it was free, was pretty low key. Some concept artist demonstrated it in a video at a conference. I want to use it again but I can't remember its name.

Does anyone have ideas of what it could have been?

Alchemy?

Sounds like Alchemy

Isaiah Sherman

Alchemy! Yes! Thank you !!!



If anyone has never seen or used this, I strongly recommend checking it out. Here's a page of a bunch o art that people used Alchemy for as a major source of inspiration:

Wow thanks for showing this.

I used to use Kid Works 2's paint room for that purpose because it had novelty tool reflection modes like Alchemy

It's not specifically the symmetry I like, but the crazy random shiz that you can create with it is really inspiring for projects.

The symmetry is like the gravy on that fat chicken fried steak.

The latest painter has simmetry painting, you might give it a try.

Thanks for the heads up, indeed I do believe I may try it. Been a Photoshop fiend forever and I wanna expand my horizons.
