GeneticFX Studio has two potential classes of more serious user, either you can use the system as a tool to develop image processing effects or as a platform to explore procedural genotypic models.

The core of the GeneticFX system is a procedural genotype model, providing transparent handling of the manipulation and evolution of the genotypes. The underlying engine has no genes (functions) defined in the genome by default. Genes are registered with the engine at runtime, the engine then creates and manipulates genotypes built of any registered genes.

This system therefore provides unlimited expansion possibilities. Technical users can implement their own genes and add them to the genome via a plugin mechanism.

GeneticFX Studio exposes a number of control variables from the underlying evolution engine, various mutation probabilities can be altered. The system includes various technical documentation on the conceptual model employed as well as the implementation. GeneticFX Studio could therefore be a suitable platform for demonstrating some of the concepts involved in genetic algorithms applied to procedural genotypic models or exploring new genomes graphically.
