I don’t play paintball for a living, I’m a programmer by trade. When I get bored I tend to write little programs that are fun to me, sometimes are very handy, but really aren’t much use to anyone else. On one such day that I was bored, but inspired by copious amounts of coffee, I wrote something that I’ve just now named the C.R.D.C.G

The Custom Random Digitalesque Camouflage Generator or C.R.D.C.G for short, is as far as I know, the worlds first online camouflage generator wherein you can pick which colours you’d like to use in your pattern. The option for squares ( digitalesque ) or circles ( *tarnesque ) are available, as is the option to have between one and four layers of colour.

The math behind the creation of a randomized pattern like this isn’t that hard, but it is a little mind bending and I wont get into it. Oh yes, it is randomly generated, every time you view the image it will be a distinctly new random pattern made from either the default colours I’ve preselected or the custom colours you choose.

 So why is it really really really cool? I can use the script I wrote to generate an image of potentially any size. So for instance you’ve probably seen people who hunt a lot with camouflage everything, even their vehicles ( pickups & ATV’s ) are done in some sort of RealTree or disruptive pattern. The patterns on these vehicles all suffer from what I think is a major functional and aesthetic flaw, the pattern most often painted or vinyled on these vehicles has a visible repetition in the pattern and it looks horrible and not natural in a random true to nature sort of way.

The C.R.D.C.G solves this problem, now not only can you have a completely distinct non repetitive pattern on an object of any size. The colours of the pattern can be chosen to specifically match your surrounding environment and even if you pick the same colours as your friend it would be nearly impossible for the patterns to be identical in any way.

If yould like your own pattern to be generated for use on your vehicle or as a template for airbrushing, email me for a quote on image generation to your specific size.
