The
KALEIDICA is a digital kaleidoscope, light
show generator, and artistic toolbox, all rolled
into one (see
examples from the gallery). Kaleidica
is licensed application software provided on
CD-ROM and it runs onWindows XP and Macintosh
OS X computers. You can use Kaleidica with
other image processing software like Adobe
Photoshop to make outstanding artwork and animations.
Artists
of all ages can use Kaleidica to create magnificenttraditional
and original sacred art including animated
mandalas for meditation, inspirational visualization,
star patterns, crosses, mazes, magic circles,
kaleidoscopic imagery, magical diagrams called "yantras",
and a host of other geometric symbols and
artwork from a wide variety of traditions.
Kaleidica
comes with six completely different symmetrical
art sutdios including: Circle, Kaleido, Mirror,
Star, Psych, and Array. Each studio is completely
unique with dozens of user selectable variables,
allowing you to create infinite symmetrical
and asymetrical effects.
Save
Kaleidica art or instantly playback artistic
sessions as full-screen animations. There's
no waiting for animations to compile because
Kaleidica uses its own internal scripting language.
Play your recordings as loops and/or add mp3
music files to create full-screen presentations. (see
examples)
Kaleidica
includes hundres of "image brushes" and
many "animated brushes"
that move in 3-D as you draw. Each brush creates
a new effect on the screen.
Use
your own digital photos and images to create
completely unique Kaleidica artwork and custom
animations (see
details).
All
animation and draw elements are under the control
of your mouse and "hot key" commands
from the keyboard. For example: to make the
symmetrical brushes grow larger while you draw
hold the "s" key down.... likewise,
hold the "a" key down to make the
brushes grow smaller..
Kaleidica
can be enjoyed by beginners, and it is also
a professional tool for live light-show performers
and graphic artists working in high resolution
print or animation media.

help pages, and 40 pages of complete printable
documentation (Adobe Acorbat format).
