PatterNodes is a well-designed and flexible macOS application designed to make it as easy as possible for you to create simple or complex graphical patterns, gradients or illustrations using repetitions.

Let your imagination free and generate stunning graphical patterns
To achieve the desired result you have to define a series of steps that describe the pattern. All used elements and operations are represented by a floating panel called a node that can be easily linked to other nodes.

Moreover, all nodes can be freely and effortlessly mixed and connected according to your preferences, a fact that offers a flexible, as well as powerful pattern generation tool.

With the help of various sliders, PatterNodes allows you to quickly change any aspect of the selected element, from its color, scaling, spacing, rotation or repetition count.

Helps you preview your changes and the resulting pattern in real time
Furthermore, PatterNodes  enables you to accurately tweak and adjust settings to obtain a new result. As follows, the generated pattern can be easily previewed in the bottom preview panel.

All changes and modifications are updated in real time and, as a result, you can take advantage of instant feedback of what the final image will look like.

Although, PatterNodes is designed mainly for pattern creation, you can also use it for any other type of repeating graphic.

In order to assist you throughout the pattern creation process, PatterNodes offers you numerous nodes capable to automatically perform laborious tasks such as repeating elements at the tile edges for a seamless pattern or randomizing different aspects, like position, rotation or the color of the elements in a pattern for a more original look.

Export your illustrations to EPS, PDF, JPEG, TIFF or PNG files
When you are happy with the graphics pattern you've generated using PatterNodes, you can easily copy the pattern tile into any given graphics or illustration application or export it as a vector graphics or bitmap image file.

On the whole, PatterNodes is a handy application for Macs that helps you create unique patterns, illustrations and gradients with just a couple of mouse clicks.

What's New:

Version 3.3.0

New features and improvements:

• New Repeat Function node, allowing you to repeat elements with a transformation similar to the Apply Function node. This makes it a lot more convenient to make some gradual scale or offset transforms and adds greater control.
• New Select from group option in the Replace node, allowing you to select the replacement element from an input group instead of using the entire group. This makes it much easier to make patterns with mixed elements without needing Element lists. Just connect all your elements to the replace node and set how to select the replacement from the group.
• Pack and Element info nodes now have an Ignore stroke option to get size and pack elements disregarding and stroke width.

Fixes:

• Fixed function period offsets still being applied even if the change periods option was unchecked.
• Change node apply to Single selection now works with negative offsets as well as positive.
• Fixed some macOS 14 UI layout issues.
• Improved export file writing error handling.
• Fixed some incorrect warnings in disabled nodes.
