About:
Seexpr is an embeddable expression evaluation engine used primarily for procedural texture generation and animation scripting. It provides a flexible, text-based syntax for defining complex functions and patterns, making it ideal for graphics and VFX pipelines. The engine is designed to be lightweight and easily integrated into larger applications.
Key Features:
  • Embeddable C++ library for easy integration
  • Supports procedural texture and pattern generation
  • Flexible expression syntax similar to mathematical notation
  • Extensible with custom functions and data types
Use Cases:
  • Procedural content generation in graphics applications
  • Animation and rigging systems in VFX pipelines
  • Custom scripting for visual tools in game development
Alternatives:
  • ExprTk – C++ expression toolkit focused on numerical evaluation, less oriented towards graphics/visuals
  • Lua – Full scripting language, more powerful but heavier and less domain-specific for expressions
