Combining the new #paragraphic 1.4 Statistics from table node with the new conditional enables to create more dynamic data-driven designs and visualizations. #dataviz

Another little addition in the #paragraphic 1.4 update is the Map value input node, that allows you to round input (like sampled image values) to the closest value in a value table.

As part of the new data-driven design features in the 1.4 update of #paragraphic a couple of new string-processing input nodes were added so you can modify input text data for display in your designs.

Fully parametric 3D effect "skeuomorphic" wallpaper created with #paragraphic. I modeled it roughly after an iOS 5.1 iPad wallpaper. Dimensions and mask are sized for the iPhone 16 Pro.

Yes, I'd like to add some sort of such manually edited spline curves as an option for functions, so it'll likely be implemented at some point.

Thanks! The dot grid is easy, but the distortion scaling is I think unfortunately something you will have trouble making in Paragraphic. I think you'll need some sort of envelope mesh distort feature to make something like this.

Just learnt out how those fancy gradient-tube designs are made. You just repeat enough simple circles with a gradient fill along a path to make it look like tube. And then why not add some more transformations along the way? #paragraphic

#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.

Paragraphic โ€“ Parametric graphic design

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.
