Description

Crystal Fracture explores the visual language of frost through a self-organising mathematical system. Thousands of points move through a sin/cos attractor, responding to the trails left by the system as it evolves. From this simple relationship, dense crystalline structures emerge, gradually opening into softer, smoke-like forms.

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
01Shape4
A (shape)0-6.283

First shape term of the attractor; small changes remap the whole figure.

B (shape)0-6.283

Second shape term; pairs with A to set the overall form.

Cellularity0-3
Reseed0-0.15

Fraction of points respawned at random each frame; adds haze and keeps the field alive.

02Look4
Exposure1-400

Lifts the faint density so the fine structure reads.

Gamma0.2-1.5

Contrast of the tonal falloff across the image.

Point Size0.1-3

Thickness of each point; the line weight of the filaments.

Trail (decay)0.8-1

How long the accumulation holds; lower fades faster, at 1 it never clears.

03Colour3
Colour Argb

Colour of the dense, bright regions.

Colour Brgb

Colour of the mid-density regions.

Backgroundrgb

Colour of the empty space behind the figure.

04Output3
Detaildraft / normal / high / ultra
Framingfit / fill / stretch

How the square figure sits in a frame that is not square.

Res256-4096

Output resolution in pixels; ships at 1280x1280.

05Motion3
Auto Motionoff / on

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

Speed0-3

How fast the built-in drift runs.

Motion Amount0-0.5

How far the drift wanders the shape.

06Presets5
Look0 presets

The stored looks; pick one, then Load.

Look Nametext

Name for the next captured look.

Capture Lookpulse

Saves the current controls as a new look.

Load Lookpulse

Applies the selected look to the controls.

Delete Lookpulse

Removes the selected look.
