Interference FieldAnimated Interference Pattern Generator
Interference Field is an animated interference pattern generator for exploring overlapping waves, optical interference, geometric interactions and evolving generative patterns.
What you can make
Animated Interference Pattern Generator
Create still interference patterns, accumulated line fields and animated interference studies that reveal visual beats between moving geometric systems.
How the process works
Multiple fields rotate and overlap at related speeds. Their changing alignment produces wave-interference-like rhythms, while accumulation and Auto Movement extend them into generative wave patterns.
Inputs and source material
Choose built-in field geometry, then control spacing, rotation, motion and accumulation without importing media.
Save and export
Save a PNG at the selected canvas size or record the changing field as WebM in the browser.
Getting started
How to use Interference Field
- 01Choose the field geometry and adjust its rotation and spacing.
- 02Explore motion and accumulation; use Auto Movement to vary controls over time.
- 03Set the canvas size, save a PNG or record the changing field as WebM in the browser.
