INTERFERE
Transforms any image into striking interference patterns by overlaying mathematical wave functions and thresholding the result against the source.
Getting started
- Drop an image onto this area, or press the load image button
- Adjust the sliders on the right to shape the output - or hover over any example on the left and click Use this preset to start from a ready-made configuration!
- Export as a high-resolution PNG or an animated GIF
Patterns
Each layer generates a wave type - linear, concentric, spiral, or polygon. Stack multiple layers and choose how they blend: Mix, Diff, Multiply, Screen, Darken, or Lighten. The combined waves are thresholded against the image luminance to produce the final result.
Controls
- Phase drives the wave offset - animate it for a looping motion
- Frequency and Amplitude control wave density and contrast
- Pull Up shifts the brightness threshold
- Grey Weight and Band Weight fine-tune how luminance maps to the output
- X/Y buttons bind any slider to your mouse position on the image - move the cursor to preview values in real time, then left-click to set them
- Randomize generates a new combination of general parameters
Animation
Switch between Global (one phase drives all layers) and Per Layer (each layer animates independently with its own speed and direction).
Export
PNGs and GIFs embed the full configuration in their metadata - import them back into INTERFERE at any time to restore the exact settings.
