About this plugin

VM OPArt is a professional Op Art pattern generator built for live visual performance. Channel the geometric illusions of Bridget Riley, Victor Vasarely and the optical art movement — rendered at native FFGL speed with full animation, distortion and feedback control. Ten classic patterns, seven distortion modes, five color schemes, and a ping-pong feedback buffer combine into a hypnotic instrument that ranges from minimalist black-and-white tension to psychedelic kaleidoscopic chaos. 10 Geometric Patterns Stripes · Checkerboard · Concentric Circles · Moire (two interfering grids) · Halftone Dots · Spiral · Radial Stripes · Wave Lines (Riley-style wavy bands) · Zig-Zag · Diamond Grid. Every pattern responds to Scale (fineness), Rotation, and Duty Cycle (dark/light proportion) for infinite variation. 6 Animation Modes Scroll · Rotate · Pulse · Breathe · Wobble · Frozen. Drive the pattern with time-based motion, rhythmic breathing, wobbling drift — or freeze it for static graphic compositions. Anim Speed controls the global tempo. 7 Distortion Modes None · Sine Wave · Radial Zoom · Twist · Ripple · Lens · Noise. Warp the base pattern into organic flowing shapes. Distort Amount and Distort Freq control magnitude and spatial frequency of the distortion. 5 Color Modes Two-Tone (classic black/white or custom primary↔secondary) · Gradient (radial or linear blend) · Rainbow (HSV cycling through the pattern) · Depth (primary-dark → secondary-light by radius) · Anti (pattern with complementary color). Includes Contrast, Softness (hard-edge vs anti-aliased), Invert toggle, and Posterize (2–8 levels). Post Effects Multi-pass self-feedback buffer (Decay + Zoom) for trail/echo accumulation. Chromatic Aberration and Vignette for final polish. Technical Multi-pass architecture with ping-pong feedback. Native FFGL 2.x DLL. 20 parameters organized into 5 logical groups (Pattern, Animation, Distortion, Color, Post). Pure GPU fragment rendering — runs at 60fps+ on any modern card. Compatible with Resolume Arena 7+.
