Kaleider manipulates images to emulate various
Kaleidoscope, Mirroring, 3D Mirroring and Funneling effects. It is a capable
graphics tool for people who are interested in tiling, tessellation and mosaic
patterns, with controls for manipulating images and tiles. Effects can be
shifted interactively by clicking and dragging with the mouse, essentially
re-rendering the same effect based on different relative positions within the
source image, allowing you to experiment with the results and decide when a
picture suits your taste. Aside from any usefulness though, Kaleider is really
just entertaining and fascinating to watch while in Automatic Effects mode, with
an endless variety of randomly selected effects wandering across the screen
according to randomly selected patterns. The Rooms feature exhibits Kaleider
patterns in 3D perspectives, optionally with automated Roaming motion. This
visual experience can also be accompanied by music from the built-in Audio
Player. A screensaver version of Kaleider is also included. The package contains
a collection of sample photos to serve as source images for Kaleider effects,
and a few MIDI audio files.
