Source scale · shrink or grow100%

Extrude an SVG or type into a real 3D object that spins. The dither pipeline reads the rendered 3D frame, so all your shape / color / effect controls still apply.

Drop SVG to extrude into 3D Vector .svg — paths, polygons, shapes

Follows Foreground

Use SVG fill colors

With SVG fill colors off, the mesh takes the Object colour above. Until you pick one it follows the Foreground from the Color panel.

Animate the source itself — images, video, webcam, screen and 3D. Recordings capture it, so any still photo becomes a loopable motion piece.

Composite an image or video behind your work. It shows wherever your image leaves room: transparent PNGs and SVGs, Fit bars, or a scaled-down source.

Sequencer

Capture looks as scenes, give each a duration and a transition, then preview or export the whole sequence as one video. Demo images, text, 3D and Fluid sources travel with scenes; uploads use whatever is currently loaded.

Copy from current look · choose what

Workflow: dial something in on the canvas first (e.g. pick a Motion in the Motion panel), then copy just that part onto every scene. The scene thumbnails update — the live canvas doesn't change.

Advance scenes

Beat modes cut scenes to the music. Load and play a track first.

No scenes yet — set up a look and capture it.

Export

Image

PNG resolution

Transparent background · PNG & SVG

Real vector paths — print, plotters, Illustrator. Post-effects (glow, grain…) are raster-only and stay out of the SVG.

Video

Live capture records what you see and hear, in real time. Frame-exact render draws every frame offline, never drops one, and carries the same slice of the track.

Format and quality

Recording quality

30 fps capture · sharper frames per bit

MP4 opens everywhere (iPhone, QuickTime, editors). WebM (VP9) holds dither detail slightly better but won't play on Apple devices. Dither eats bitrate: High and Max keep the dots crisp; Max is about 6 MB per second.

GIF loop · short repeating clip

GIF duration3.0s

12 frames per second, rendered deterministically. With a track loaded the reactivity is baked in from the player's current position. GIFs carry no sound.

Steps every frame deterministically: no dropped frames, any resolution, slower than real-time. With a track loaded, audio reactivity is rendered in and the sound is included, starting from the player's current position. Video / camera / screen / GPU fluid fields still need live recording.
