The toolkit

Everything Stand Down builds, organized by where it lives in your pipeline.

C++ Applications

Standalone, high-performance desktop tools.

Tessera AutoTiling Engine

Turns photos or scans of repeating patterns — fabric, wallpaper, decorative surfaces — into perfectly seamless tiles. Drop a few hints to disambiguate the periodic structure and get one clean tile per material layer.

MultiClone Synchronized Clone Engine

GPU clone-stamping, perfectly in sync. One Alt+Click on the diffuse guide drives UV-synced stamps across up to 10 material layers at once — diffuse, normal, bump and the rest all stay aligned.

NoiseNode Noise Node Engine

A node-based procedural generator built on a vertex-as-pixel GPU model — up to ~100M points on 24 GB of VRAM. Pull-based graph evaluation for displacement, clumping and behavioral sim, with a live TCP bridge into a Photoshop UXP panel.

WoodGenerator

Procedural wood textures that are indistinguishable from scans. A C++/CUDA core with Python orchestration outputs scan-grade PBR maps tuned for V-Ray.

Physics Solver Engine

An all-CUDA physics engine built on a unified Vertex Block Descent solver — rigid bodies as 6-DOF AVBD blocks, deformables as FEM vertex blocks, OGC contact. In early development.

Knitter

A string-art generator: it turns a photo into nail-and-thread instructions for a rectangular frame, greedily routing strings through the darkest remaining pixels. Comes with text and interactive HTML step-by-step guides.
