The creative team of 3d2f.comhas just reviewed Mandala Painter 3.
" Even the prettiest flower on earth is actually a great combination of simpler shapes (petals), symmetrically repeated around the circle. This is also true about other «tricky» masterpieces — snowflakes, shining stars, and even the most unrealistic designs capturing our eye through the glass of a kaleidoscope. Too sad — all of those exciting figures soon just pass away, and the best we can do about that is enjoy it while it’s here, as we can’t save, refresh or preserve it for the future."

Interview with the developer of Mandala Painter
Tantra.hu:What past records are needed for somebody to go for creating a mandala painter software?
Zoltán Komáromy: Not obligatory, but recommended, if the programmer is skilled in the world of graphical softwares. Programming is the engineering task, requires precision, mathematical logics. This is required for making graphical softwares, but not enough. Because artistic creativity is needed, and also ideas that can arise only from the mind of a user who actually uses those softwares, even for years. For me it was fortunate to have both, I am a programmer by qualification and also been a graphic artist for years at a commercial television company. I have learned several softwares, saw their weaknesses and strengths. I have developed serious extensions for those, but never a standalone graphical software. Besides this, of course, a lot of perseverance and luck is also good to have. Most of the help I got from programmers on mailing lists and communities of open source developers. I am thankful for that!
