What you can make

Animated Psychedelic Tunnel Generator

Build still optical-tunnel artwork or animated tunnel sequences from repeating geometric cross-sections, paths, palettes and depth effects.

How the process works

A source shape repeats through depth along a configurable path. Distortion, section spacing and movement transform that structure into geometric animation and occasional trippy visuals without defining the whole instrument by one style.

Inputs and source material

Choose from built-in source shapes and configure the path, depth, distortion, palette and Auto Movement controls.

Save and export

Export a still image or record WebM in the browser using landscape, portrait or custom output dimensions.
