Turing Pattern Generator

Content ID：2168199

This material can be used in Studio Mode. (What is Studio Mode?)

This Autoaction set generates organic Turing patterns on your layer or inside your selection.

1. Run a Seed

2. Run a Pattern

3. Merge

Don’t run on too big selection or canvas. It gets veeeeery slow!

BUT:

You can press [esc] and stop the process if it is too slow.
You can also stop midway and run another pattern on what you ended up with before. This way you can combine patterns.
I left merge as a separate action in case you combine or pause midway. (Just don’t forget to merge or you’ll have a layer-folder-salad… You can also [shift] + [option] + [e] on the outer most folder in case you didn’t merge every time you ran a pattern.)
When you stop midway you might end up with a grey, weird looking pattern. Just run a pattern again in this case (not a seed!). (Or binarize it!!! This can look quite fun!)
If you end up with a binarized pattern but need a blurry one (e.g. for applying on gradients with Hard mix), run Gaussian blur (22.25).
If you need a binarized Pattern, play around with the threshold. it influences line and space width.
Try changing the seed by applying filters, painting or smearing… You won’t be disappointed by the crazy patterns you can generate ^^
