Prism Shatter is a kaleidoscope and geometry effect in FRCTL, the browser VJ studio. Triangular glass shards with fractured RGB offsets.
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.
Breaks the picture into a grid of glass cells, splits each on the diagonal into two triangles, and knocks every shard a random distance from its centre. Red and blue slip apart across each shard and a thin glow runs along the cracks. Shards sets grid density, Fracture how far pieces jump, Prism the colour split and edge glow, and Shape swaps triangles for squares.
Tesseract FoldProjected 4D fold math bends the image inside out.
Mandelbrot TearLow-iteration fractal edges tear and pull UV coordinates apart.
Chaos GridRandomly rotated, flipped tiles in a shuffling grid (respects reduce motion).
CollagePastes copies of the picture over itself at different sizes, like prints laid on a table, with the original showing in the gaps.
MirrorFolds the picture across the width, then the height, up to five times, so the whole subject repeats in a mirrored grid. Seam draws the folds dark or bright.
Mirror 2Fills the whole frame from the center ~90% of the source (5% margin per side). 1:1 mirror tiles (no 2:1 squish): each column/row is a full-size slice of the crop, odd segments reversed. 0–5 steps; soft mix on main center seams.
