Particles only. The full version adds vector export.

Format

Pixels: the real canvas resolution.

Adapt

On non-square formats the Adapt mode matters — Density scales the nodes on the long axis, Crop keeps the square pattern and crops it.

Mode 1 — Fourier

Base·sin(πmx)sin(πny)
+ Mirror·sin(πnx)sin(πmy)

Presets

Mirror +1Mirror −1

Mode 2 — Sources

Four circular wave sources you drag on the plate. Particles gather along their interference nodes.
