NoiseNode Engine Vertex-as-pixel procedural node engine
A standalone GPU-accelerated procedural generator built around a node graph where every "pixel" is an independent vertex. Designed for very high vertex counts so points can physically displace, clump and simulate behaviour rather than sitting in a static pixel grid.

Stitch-Painter Cross-stitch pattern painter

Knitter String-art generator
