Kaleidoscope AIP is a free plugin that will add a kaleidoscope effect to your Adobe Illustrator objects.

Ink, a Photoshop plugin. Ink is one of the best free Photoshop plugins on this list. It allows designers to create useful mockups and user interfaces, which lets an inexperienced Photoshop user — like a developer, for example — understand the design elements within a coding framework. I do have Mehdi's Kaleidoscope plug-in. It is a 32-bit plug-in. Therefore, it is not compatible with Elements 14, a 64-bit application. If you have Elements 12 and earlier, you can install this plug-in. These Elements versions are 32-bit. I do not recollect having posted a link to a kaleidoscope generator.

The mainstream graphics applications now offer versatility and power that satisfy the majority of requirements, even in relatively specialised fields. However, there remains substantial scope for productivity and ease-of-use improvements by employing plug-in tools from other suppliers and, in particular, custom tools designed for a specific task and workflow.

Shillito & Company offers plug-in development as a service: we can develop tools that integrate tightly with the host application, which are designed for very specific purposes, be they quality assurance, ease-of-use or some original graphic component that the host application cannot itself create.

Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop are particularly suitable for this purpose but other host applications can also be extended in those cases where they offer more suitable host capabilities.

As a user needing additional tools or facilities, it can be difficult to envisage what sort of extensions and modifications can be applied to the host application.

To help you to plan your requirements, we have created a free Kaleidoscope plug-in tool for Illustrator CS and CS2 (Windows version) which demonstrates many of the options - and you might even find it useful or entertaining!

Although the demo plug-in works with Illustrator, similar principles apply to other host applications such as Adobe Photoshop. Illustrator allows particularly comprehensive integration with plug-ins.

My partner (of the non-business variety) recently built a beautiful oversized kaleidoscope for part of an artistic installation. Here’s a picture taken from within:

I can’t seem to find a picture of the device itself, but it stands about 3 feet tall, a foot across. With cardboard mock wrought-iron corners. And fused glass inserts. And a velvet-lined eyepiece. Anyway, I got to wondering about simulating kaleidoscopes. After Effects ships with CC Kaleida, which is a little bit nifty, but it only does arrangements of square mirrors. I wanted more flexibility. Actually, I wanted complete flexibility. So, I wrote omino kaleidoscope.

Its features include:

• Use any path to define a set of mirrors
• Set the shininess of the mirrors, so successive reflections may be dimmer
• Set a distortion amount, similar to tilting the mirrors a bit
• Set the number of reflections (fewer will render faster, but with less expanse)
• …and a few futz values that change some numbers, in the, the, you know, the math, that make it become more cool.

And here’s a demonstration of omino kaleidoscope:

This will be available in the next, soon, upcoming (!) release of the omino after effects suite.
