Lucinate
Modular Graphics Studio
USD 29.99
Lucinate is a creative playground for algorithmic art, generative visuals, video synthesis, and image processing.
Built for artists, coders, VJs, and tinkerers, it lets you explore the intersection of math and graphics - from intricate stills to evolving patterns, beat-synced visuals, and interactive shader art.
Whether you're crafting generative textures, designing audio/MIDI-reactive visuals, or exploring the aesthetics of algorithms, Lucinate gives you the tools to turn abstract ideas into visual form.
Dive in and discover new ways to create, play, and perform with color, form, and code.
• Universal app for Mac, iPad, and iPhone
• Built on Apple Metal
• Multiple parallel shader tracks
