#paragraphic tip of the day:
When using the Apply layer node to create #halftone patterns or other effects, don't forget you can also sample group layers. This allows you to combine multiple layers (noise, shapes, images, gradients etc) in this group to then generate the design based on.

The DNS issues affecting our hosting company seem to have been resolved now and paragraphic.design is accessible again, sorry for the inconvenience.

The DNS servers of the hosting company used for paragraphic.design are currently down, apparently due to a large scale DDOS hacking attack. This has made the site unreachable the last couple of hours. The hosting company is working on it and the situation should hopefully be resolved eventually.

Well, in a sense you could see Paragraphic as what the ideas in Patternodes have evolved into. Paragraphic uses a very similar system for design and pattern generation, but presented in a different way. I think the main use case will be as a companion tool for complex/parametric vector designs.

Then I also want to put in some more apparent usecases like making custom vector halftones, gradients, data visualizations or maybe animations. So I can have some more specific things to motive designers to try something new (and hopefully then see what else they can do with the apps).

I think what you're describing is pretty much what I want to do with my apps: Getting designers new ways to think about patterns and design by introducing parametric/procedural features in a more accessible package. So that's pretty much the long term goal.

Applying the new pivot-relative transforms based on the distance to the pivot point in groups allow you to make some pretty cool explode/twist style effects to groups in #paragraphic.

No, I'm sorry, there's no automatic way to "complete" your bundle in this way. A couple of times I've made specific offers to existing users of the apps to get the others at a reduced price, but I don't want to spam people with e-mail offers too often. But maybe I should give that a try again.

The new #paragraphic 1.2.3 update also adds a more convenient way of inserting input nodes after an existing input node, so you no longer have to remove and re-add the existing input node.

New #paragraphic update 1.2.3 released. This time adding new ways to transform elements relative to group pivot points along with a couple of other fixes and improvements.

Just a little #paragraphic tip: Holding shift makes sliders snap to even increments (also works on rotation handles).

The recent 1.2.1 #paragraphic update had an issue with bitmap exports, so now there's a new 1.2.2 version fixing that. See paragraphic.design/blog/version...
