The Loom tool is presented for generating fabric textures

Developers released Loom — a specialized tool for creating images of fabric weaves based on JSON configurations. The software uses cellular automaton algorithms to form weaving patterns.

The tool supports two operating modes: "plain" and "render". The "plain" mode provides fast preview generation, while "render" utilizes the capabilities of Blender to create high-quality visualizations taking into account the physical properties of materials. Users can set fabric structure parameters through configuration files, allowing for the automation of texture creation.

The project is aimed at designers and developers who require procedural generation of textile patterns. The source code of the solution is available in the GitHub repository, where the principles of setting up generators to achieve various visual effects are also described.

The implementation of such tools allows reducing the time spent on creating complex textures for 3D models and graphic projects. The use of cellular automata provides high pattern variability with minimal computational resource costs in the basic operating mode.
