Seven modes
A tour of the app, tab by tab, then six photos in six modes: what each one does, on real images.
← MoteThe app
Mote on video, feature by feature.
Everything here is recorded in the real app, with a drawn cursor. Only calculation times are left out.
Videos recorded before the modes were renamed. At the top of the screen: Stochaster → Spora, Dotraster → Puncta, Pointillist → Linea, Coloraster → Chroma, ASCII → Glypha, Labo → Prisma, Video → Kinema. What’s new →

A poster, start to finish
A screened tiger cut out with the lasso, a background out of nothing, a title: a real poster, without leaving Mote.

Ctrl+K
Everything can be searched from the keyboard: type a word, Enter, it’s applied. Then the slow tour: a photo becoming a finished image without touching the panel.

Searching without knowing
Ctrl+K with no clear idea: no, clear it, start again, and it eventually comes.

One recipe, several images
The same recipe on different subjects: what it keeps from each, and what it makes of it.

08
Your own recipe
A find on one image, saved, then one click replays it on all the others.
00:00:00

Before / after
The photo and the result side by side: slide the line to compare.

History
Try anything: Ctrl+Z takes you back, with nothing lost.

Layers and inks
Each ink turns off and on: you see what the image is made of.

From one mode to another
One mode’s render becomes the next one’s starting image: Spora, Prisma, Chroma, Puncta, with adjustments at each step.

One image, several natures
Recipe after recipe, the same portrait changes material: photo, ink, screen.

How far one setting goes
Pushing a single slider all the way, to see everything it holds.

16
Three stacks, one photo
Three effect stacks built on the same image, each finished by a stroke of chance.

17
The same effect, twice
An effect laid over itself, barely offset: the pattern doubles and gains depth.

Backgrounds out of nothing
An empty canvas to begin with, no photo: fully computed textures, ready to serve as backgrounds.

One pattern, several inks
The same pattern in several colourways: that is often where it becomes usable.

White or black
The interface changes, the image stays the same.

The captions in these videos: zones you write, move and tighten on top of the app.
