Design Infinite Tileable Patterns With This New Powerful Blender Tool

If you're looking for originality, Pattern Designer is here to help you achieve that. As a designer, Pierre Lazarevic frequently encountered clients seeking fresh concepts, however, while experimenting with textures, the artist discovered that despite his love of working with them, the process was relatively slow. Born as a personal project, Pattern Designer Node Group piqued the interest of Pierre Lazarevic's collages and he decided to share it with other artists online.

With this tool, you can randomly push the sliders and quickly find cool iterations. The applications of Pattern Designer are nearly endless. It can be used in environment design to make intricate textures, UI design to get complex shapes and animations, to design clothes patterns or tattoos, music video animations, and many more.

Take a look at Florent Lebrun's amazing work using Pattern Designer:

No need to be a Blender expert either, since Pattern Designer is also pretty easy to use by appending the Node Group into your scene and using the provided Blender scene to only focus on designing. Pierre Lazarevic has provided a full video tutorial covering the installation, overview, and demonstration of the tool:

Pattern Designer features two main warp deformations to play with, Kaleidoscope and Square. Each one has various sub deformations such as:

With the additional auto Animation Drivers Node Group, it never has been so easy to animate values, simply drag the animation type you desire to the slider you want to animate.

All future Pattern Designer updates will be provided free of charge. The artist says he has ideas for future improvements and features, so stay tuned by following Pierre Lazarevic on X/Twitter.

As for the render engines, it's recommended to use Cycles over EEVEE, as real-time renders in Blender are often guilty of causing artifacts.

Pattern Designer is available at Blender Market, ArtStation, and Gumroad at $9.50.
