Textured Lissajous Patterns
This option lets you use any image for the background and for the pattern, such as photos, pictures, works of art etc, or textures such as clouds, water, wood, stone, and other materials. When you use pictures, depending on the Lissajous pattern you use, the result twists and turns like reflections in a hall of mirrors.
Chrysanthemums by a stream with rocks - or Movie
Here I've used Japanese paintings by Itō Jakachū - Chrysanthemums by a stream with rocks for the background and Hasegawa - Tohaku Pine Trees for the pattern.
You can use any images saved in common image formats such as jpeg, gif, png, bmp, tif etc. Try photos you took yourself or get images from on-line sources such as Wikipedia Images.
The program comes with some example works of art by the French Impressionists and Japanese Prints - the Impressionists were inspired by Japanese Prints. Also some photos. If you install the Lissajous 3D Extra skins then all the skin textures get installed as textures for the Lissajous patterns as well.
Here is a pattern based on a couple of famous Van Gogh pictures

And to show what you can do with photographs, here is one based on a couple of photos I took myself
Poppies and snow shadows - movie
You can browse to find any images you have on your computer and use those instead.
For more examples, see the Textured Patterns gallery. These examples get installed with the newest Lissajous 3D.
Several example photos of works of art, and nature photos, are included with the program. Also if you install any of the extra skins, the textures for those get copied into the textures folder (if you have already installed them, you need to install them again to do this - or just copy the textures over from your Skins folder to your Textures folder).
To find this feature in Lissajous 3D, go to and in the menu.
Freeware / Shareware status: This feature is free (with splash) when you use the program in windowed mode (with a maximum size for the main window).
If you want to run the screen saver, make the flash movies, save different sized images, use a large main window, or show your image full screen, then those are shareware features
