Kaleidoscope result made from the bundled sample
The botanical source folded into a radial mirrored composition.

Fold one source into a moving field of symmetry.

Kaleidoscope mirrors image fragments and generated texture around a configurable center. Change the fold geometry, segment count, motion, and color treatment to move from floral symmetry to sharp synthetic pattern.

Before you start

What can I make with Kaleidoscope?

Use it for looping visual identities, pattern and textile direction, and mirrored title backgrounds. The controls stay live, so the same source can branch into multiple visual directions.

What can I adjust in Kaleidoscope?

The main controls include Symmetry, Tiles, Sample Size, and Palette. Additional composition and finish controls are available inside Studio.

What can Kaleidoscope export?

Kaleidoscope exports PNG / JPEG / Video. Available dimensions and motion options follow the tool's Web capabilities.
