Wire Diamond

Wire Diamond is a 3D wireframe visual in FRCTL, the browser VJ studio. Faceted octahedral gems turning end over end.

Runs live on video, images, a camera or generated art. Stack it with any other effect, and route LFOs, envelopes or any of ten audio bands to its controls so it moves with the music.

What Wire Diamond does

Two octahedral gems, one above and one below the centre, spin while tipped to one side and rocking. Each is a square girdle with four edges rising to a top point and four falling to a bottom one, standing slightly taller than wide. Twelve edges meeting at points make it read as cut crystal rather than a box.

Using Wire Diamond

Where it works
For anything about value or shine: a luxury-styled cover, a VIP night flyer, a logo sting that wants a gem motif. Stacked above and below a centred title, the two gems frame it without crowding it.
With the music
The spin follows the clock only. B9 (air) on Size makes the gems flicker larger with the cymbals, and MIDI-mapping Hue lets you set their colour live.
Starting point
Size centre, Move a quarter, Hue yellow, Object placement on Top and bottom, with the title centred between them.
