The material room

The cloth under the interface.

Every persona’s interface sits on a material: woven from their palette, moving the way they move, textured like the places they love. Take a bolt off the rack to try it on, then bend it, re-dye it and keep it.

The workbench

Bend it. Dye it. Keep it.

This cloth is live. Move across it and it bends; tap it and it ripples. Everything you change saves on this device. Export a still, save a recipe to share, or wear it behind Baste.

A material, fitted to you.

Every thread
has a world.

Room for the work.
Texture for the feeling.

A flat colour preview. The live material needs WebGL.

Move across the cloth to bend it. Tap to send a ripple.

Parallel threads bend into one current.

Composition

The same seed keeps the same composition, so you can re-dye it freely.

Fitted cloth

Every persona weaves its own.

Baste chooses the technique from a persona’s aesthetic profile, dyes it with the palette it generated for them and seeds it with their name, so the same person always gets the same cloth. Change it in their Studio, and their header re-dyes to match.

From the Graphite workbench

Four studies to take apart.

Native documents for Graphite, the open-source node-based editor, picked from twenty variations. Open one to follow how the pattern is built, then change a node and make it yours.

Chalk strata, a Graphite study

Chalk strata

A repeated blue-and-paper ramp traces the same height field many times, building a landscape of contours.

Interference weave, a Graphite study

Interference weave

Two slightly rotated arrays create a slower rhythm where their threads cross. Small changes make large bands.
