Mystica 5.2

Mystica's user interface is different from usual Windows programs. Rather than hiding functionality behind pull down menus, all controls are directly accessible to allow for fast explorative results. This is the start screen explaining briefly each of the seven work areas.

You might want to start designing an image in this "Simple Design" screen. It guides you through main parameters and coloring by numbers.
The virtual window in which the image is shown can be panned and zoomed by mouse. An intelligent random button provides exceptional images which can be refined further on; there is no need to set lots of image parameters.

At any time you can switch to the "Expert Design" screen which offers more controls. Snapshots, unlimited undo and redo levels as well as extendable presets for forms and colors help in finding unique images. A Chaos slider allows to continally add chaotic structures, a Sequence button presents variations while preserving the image character. Coloring is done in layers with adjustable transparency.

A very interesting feature is the movie generation. Take any of your created images and define a belonging second image. All movie frames are automatically generated as a transition from the two images.
Movies can be exported in all video formats (divx, mpeg4 etc). Mystica comes with an integrated movie player that allows to copy individual video frames as images. Movies can be editied and extended even after rendering, hence allowing for complex creations.
