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

  1. 01Choose the field geometry and adjust its rotation and spacing.
  2. 02Explore motion and accumulation; use Auto Movement to vary controls over time.
  3. 03Set the canvas size, save a PNG or record the changing field as WebM in the browser.
