Genres: Graphics & Design

ArtGenesis is a unique pattern-based Generative Art application that can best be described as an integrated toolbox that assists in the creation of an amazing variety of colorful and exciting images for print or screen.  The application is free, but requires an inexpensive in-app purchase to unlock Save / Load / Export / Print functions.  The application takes a fresh and very practical approach to Generative Art that combines together user-selected parameters and random values to create an infinite variety of images.  ArtGenesis contains 14 parametric grid generators, a random title generator, a palette generators, a palette library containing 50 palettes, a shape library containing over 550 graphical elements that can be used in various ways, a large collection of graphic transformations that can be used to distort the image, and a set of reflections including Kaleidoscope reflections.  Also included is the ability to overlay external SVG graphics and textual elements onto an image.

Release notes:
Redesigned Palette Library dialog to better display the palettes, added a new parametric Irregular Grid generator bringing the total number of parametric grid generators in the app to 14, added the ability to tag both Shapes and Palettes as Favorites and use them as such, removed the superfluous Basic Palette Generator, and removed the confusing range sliders from dialogs.  All these features and changes were the result of user suggestions.
