Wire Grid

Wire Grid is a 3D wireframe visual in FRCTL, the browser VJ studio. Perspective grid planes scrolling toward the viewer.

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 Grid does

Draws a small perspective floor in each slot: lines run toward a hazy horizon and scroll toward the viewer while the whole panel rolls gently side to side. Far lines thin out, near lines thicken, and a round vignette keeps it a floating panel. At default Size only a few cells show, so it reads as crossing beams more than a full floor.

Using Wire Grid

Where it works: The only Wire object that implies forward travel, so it suits build-ups, outrun and synthwave visuals, and clips that need motion toward the camera. Push Size up and it starts to read as a proper floor.
With the music: The floor scrolls on the clock, deaf to the track. B1 (kick) on Size flexes the panels on each kick, and a synced LFO on Hue shifts their colour across a phrase.
Starting point: Size hard right, Move centre, Hue teal, Object placement on Top and bottom, for two wide scrolling floor panels.
