Description

Aether Weave is a live procedural caustic light field with the soft, grainy texture of woven light. It draws from the quiet observation of a single light shining through beaded, frosted glass: light gathers into diffused pale pools where the surface curves inward, bleeds into warm halos at the edges, and stretches into fine thread-like striations where patterns intersect. Six wavelengths pass through the glass separately and bend by slightly different amounts, which is what puts the colour along every rim. The image builds up gradually as a long exposure collects light.

Usage Note

Built with native auto-motion and fully adjustable parameter controls, including optional audio analysis demonstration components. The system operates standalone with no external audio wiring required. To drive it with your own audio, route your audio signals to the corresponding parameters. All default and tested parameter ranges are documented in the DAT table.

Parameters

01Field7

Dips0-4

How many hollows sit in the membrane; each one punches a dark round gap in the light.

Dip Size0.05-0.3

How wide each hollow is; above roughly 0.22 the rings stop forming.

Bumps0-40

How many raised lenses the light passes through; more weaves a denser form.

Bump Size0.05-0.25

How wide each lens is; it also sets how far Focus has to go before rings appear.

Focus0.01-0.06

Sharpens the light from a soft glow into crisp rings, the way focusing a lens does.

Fibres0-1

Adds fine striations across the membrane, so the light carries a woven grain.

Shuffle0-100

Re-rolls the whole layout for a completely new arrangement.

02Beam2

Spread0.1-1

How much of the frame the beam covers; low concentrates it, high fills the frame.

Split0-1

How far apart the six wavelengths are bent; this is what puts colour on the edges.

03Look7

Trail0.9-0.995

How long light stays in the frame; low reacts fast, high builds a long smooth exposure.

Drift-1.5-1.5

Moves the accumulated light up or down the frame, smearing it into wisps.

Softness0-8

Softens the sharp layer; at 0 the edges stay crisp.

Haze0-1

Blends a soft out-of-focus copy over the sharp one, the mist around every edge.

Exposure0.02-3

How much of the accumulated light reads as bright.

Contrast0.2-2.5

Contrast of the light ramp; below 1 lifts the faint haze into view.

Grain0-1

Film grain over the finished image.

04Colour4

Tintrgb

Hue of the light itself.

Rainbow0-1

How strongly the split wavelengths show as colour.

Saturation0-2

Richness of all colour in the frame.

Backgroundrgb

The colour sitting behind the light.

05Output3

Resolution256-4096

Output size in pixels; ships at 1280x720.

Detail256 / 512 / 1024

Rays cast per frame, squared; higher is denser and costs more GPU.

Framingfit / fill / stretch

How the square light field meets a non-square canvas.

06Motion3

Enabledoff / on

Master switch for the built-in drift; on by default.

Motion Speed0-3

How fast the drift runs.

Motion Amount0-1

How far the drift pushes each control.

07Presets5

Look Nametext

Name for the next captured Look.

Capture Lookpulse

Saves the current controls as a new Look.

Lookstored looks

Your saved control states; pick one, then Load.

Load Lookpulse

Applies the selected Look.

Delete Lookpulse

Removes the selected Look.
