Frame

Nodes that work with laser frames: collections of points that form visible paths. Some generate frames from scratch, others transform or combine existing ones.

Shapes

• Circle: Ellipse with independent X/Y scale.
• Square: Rectangle with optional rounded corners.
• Polygon: Regular polygon with variable side count.
• Star: Star shape with adjustable point count and depth.
• Wave: Horizontal wave with phase, shape, and cycle controls.
• Rose: Rhodonea curve with N/D petal ratio.
• Rosette: Rose-like curve with adjustable petals and braid weave.
• Spirograph: Hypotrochoid curve with adjustable outer and inner radii.
• Spiral: Spiral with configurable turns and exponent.
• Waveform Tunnel: Spiral with built-in wave displacement for tunnel effects.
• Parametric Curve: Builds a frame from per-point X, Y, Z, and color signals.

Inputs

• File: Loads ILDA, SVG, or OBJ files as laser frames.
• Video Input: Converts NDI or Syphon video to vector laser output.
• Text: Vector text rendering with reveal animation.

Effects

• Camera Projection: 3D perspective projection with pan, tilt, roll, and translation.
• Duplicator: Copies a frame with progressive rotation, scale, and shift.
• Dotter: Converts paths to evenly-spaced dots with corner detection.
• Colorize: Applies per-point color to a frame with optional endpoint fading.
• Laser Chase: Sequential brightness sweep across multiple lasers.
• Brightness: Uniformly scales the brightness of every point in a frame.
• Merge: Combines two frames into one.

Output

• Output: Final node. Scales, positions, and rotates the complete output.
