Op Art 1

There are three Op Art generators to help confuse your background-foreground senses. The Op Art generators create mathematically oriented patterns using a repetition of simple shapes. Although some static patterns create a visual illusion of movement, you can keyframe Op Art parameters to create moving moiré patterns.

  • Contrast: A slider that sets how sharp or blurred the division is between the lines and the background.

  • Wavelength 1: A slider that sets the frequency of the wave up and down.

  • Wavelength 2: A slider that sets the frequency of the wave from left to right.

  • Amplitude: A slider that sets the amplitude of the waves.

  • Roundness: A slider that sets the shape of the waves.
