Shapes & lines for design.
Geomancy is a three plugin set that creates and animates lines and shapes. While these common design elements are easy to create, they can be quite tedious to animate. We make this easy for you.
| In each of the three plugins, a particle system generates the shapes or lines. An underlying Grid system is used to control how these particles look and behave. [more]
Controls for the particles include thickness, length, path of motion, and growth rate. Almost every parameter has an option for 'Randomness'. [more]
From worm-like lines to flowing water to basic squares, Geomancy is flexible and dynamic for creating patterns and background textures. |

Our inspiration for Geomancy.
The word 'Geomancy' is actually a term related to Feng Shui, the Chinese art of arrangement. In the 19th century, a 'geomancer' would detect the powerful currents that run through the earth surface and determine where houses should be placed.
Geomancy was the art of finding a perfect, magical balance in land shapes. Thus, our Geomancy finds the perfect balance of digital shapes.
Our idea for each tool came from just observing the world around us and getting inspiration from nature. HairLines was inspired by the way hair moves in water.
You'd think we could take a vacation and not think about work, but no! Sitting around a pool, we noticed the way hair would float and bend and thought, "Hey! That'd be a cool filter!" |
