Kaleider
-
Version
3.8
Kaleider manipulates images to emulate various
Kaleidoscope, Mirroring, 3D Mirroring and Funneling
effects. It is a capable graphics tool for people who
are interested in tiling, tessellation and mosaic
patterns, with controls for manipulating images and
tiles. Effects can be shifted interactively by
clicking and dragging with the mouse, essentially re-
rendering the same effect based on different relative
positions within the source image, allowing you to
experiment with the results and decide when a picture
suits your taste.
Aside from any usefulness though, Kaleider is really
just entertaining and fascinating to watch while in
Automatic Effects mode, with an endless variety of
randomly selected effects wandering across the screen
according to randomly selected patterns. The Rooms
feature exhibits Kaleider patterns in 3D perspectives,
optionally with automated Roaming motion. In Mandala
Mode patterns are shown within a circle, automatically
positioned to create pleasing symmetries. This visual
experience can be accompanied by music from the built-
in Audio Player.
A screensaver version of Kaleider is also included.
The package contains a collection of sample photos to
serve as source images for Kaleider effects, and a few
MIDI audio files.
