Reflection Tree

Generate branching sculptures that dance to music over a mirrored floor. Choose shapes, sculpt the branches, and route sound into growth and motion.

Default demo track · live audio-reactive settings

Reflection Tree builds a new branching sculpture from a seed and sets it above a reflective tiled floor. Bass pushes waves outward, mids twist the branches, and highs scatter the shapes. Try Lantern Willow for drooping spheres or Ring Canopy for an airy sculpture of interlocking rings.

Launch the visualizer with its matching left-nav entry selected.

Quick start

Start the demo track, choose a local audio file, or enable a live input.
Try a preset or style first, then open the section for the part of the image you want to change.
On a control with Assign modulation, open the source picker, choose a signal, and watch the slider's live fill.
Use Reset to Defaults whenever you want to return to the original look.

Audio modulation

On a control with Assign modulation, select the activity icon to open Modulate with. Choose a named source, or choose — None to leave the control unmodulated. After you assign one, its name appears below the slider; select that name to edit the route, or use Clear modulation to remove it. The slider track shows the live signal reaching the control.

Modulated control	Section	What the route changes
Growth	Tree	Reveals the sculpture from the trunk toward the branch tips.
Branch Spread	Tree	Widens the canopy without stretching the individual shapes.
Shape Size	Tree	Sets the size of each shape, including shapes other than cubes.
Hue	Color	Chooses the starting color of the sculpture.
Color Spread	Color	Sets how far the colors travel around the color wheel toward the tips.
Brightness	Color	Sets the brightness of the sculpture faces and traveling highlights.
Growth Pulse	Branch Reactions	Makes the growing tips open and close with the overall music level by default. Lower Growth below one to reveal this effect.
Branch Pulse	Branch Reactions	Sets the outward displacement of a traveling branch wave. Follows bass by default.
Branch Twist	Branch Reactions	Sets the twisting motion along the branches. Follows mids by default.
Shape Scatter	Branch Reactions	Sets how far individual shapes scatter around their branch. Follows highs by default.
Wave Speed	Motion	Sets how quickly waves travel from the trunk through the canopy. Zero stops their travel.
Idle Motion	Motion	Sets the gentle drifting and traveling waves between musical hits.
Orbit Speed	Camera	Sets the automatic orbit speed. Zero stops the automatic orbit; drag the view to inspect the sculpture.
Reflection	Floor	Sets the brightness of the sculpture reflected in the floor.
Floor Ripple	Floor	Distorts the floor reflection into small ripples.

Settings reference

Generate

Setting	Available values	What it changes
Generate New Tree	Action	Chooses the unique branch arrangement. The same seed and tree settings recall the same sculpture.

Tree

Setting	Available values	What it changes
Shape	CUBES, SPHERES, CRYSTALS, TETRAHEDRONS, RINGS, CONES, CAPSULES	Chooses cubes, spheres, crystals, tetrahedrons, rings, cones, or capsules for the branches.

Branch Curl	-2–2	Turns successive branches into a twisted, sculptural canopy. Negative values reverse the curl.
Branch Droop	0–2	Bends later branches downward for a weeping canopy.
Growth	0–1	Reveals the sculpture from the trunk toward the branch tips. Use Assign modulation to choose a source.
Tree Seed	1–99	Chooses the unique branch arrangement. The same seed and tree settings recall the same sculpture.
Branch Depth	3–5	Sets how many generations of branches grow from the trunk.
Shape Density	20–60	Sets how many shapes fill each branch.
Branch Spread	0.5–1.5	Widens the canopy without stretching the individual shapes. Use Assign modulation to choose a source.
Shape Size	0.4–1.5	Sets the size of each shape, including shapes other than cubes. Use Assign modulation to choose a source.

Color

Setting	Available values	What it changes
Hue	0–360	Chooses the starting color of the sculpture. Use Assign modulation to choose a source.
Color Spread	0–360	Sets how far the colors travel around the color wheel toward the tips. Use Assign modulation to choose a source.
Brightness	0.2–1.5	Sets the brightness of the sculpture faces and traveling highlights. Use Assign modulation to choose a source.
Background Opacity	0–1	Fades the sky and distant haze while keeping the sculpture and its floor visible.

Branch Reactions

Setting	Available values	What it changes
Growth Pulse	0–0.5	Makes the growing tips open and close with the overall music level by default. Lower Growth below one to reveal this effect. Use Assign modulation to choose a source.
Branch Pulse	0–2	Sets the outward displacement of a traveling branch wave. Follows bass by default. Use Assign modulation to choose a source.
Branch Twist	0–1	Sets the twisting motion along the branches. Follows mids by default. Use Assign modulation to choose a source.
Shape Scatter	0–1	Sets how far individual shapes scatter around their branch. Follows highs by default. Use Assign modulation to choose a source.

Audio

Setting	Available values	What it changes
Sensitivity	0–3	Sets sensitivity for the audio reactions. Zero removes the music-driven motion.
Response	0–1	Sets how gradually the shared audio signals respond.

Motion

Setting	Available values	What it changes
Wave Speed	0–1.5	Sets how quickly waves travel from the trunk through the canopy. Zero stops their travel. Use Assign modulation to choose a source.
Idle Motion	0–1	Sets the gentle drifting and traveling waves between musical hits. Use Assign modulation to choose a source.

Camera

Setting	Available values	What it changes
Orbit Speed	0–1	Sets the automatic orbit speed. Zero stops the automatic orbit; drag the view to inspect the sculpture. Use Assign modulation to choose a source.
Camera Distance	3–8	Moves the camera closer to or farther from the sculpture.
Camera Height	1–5	Raises or lowers the camera above the floor.

Atmosphere

Setting	Available values	What it changes
Environment Hue	0–360	Chooses the color of the sky, haze, and floor tiles.
Sky Brightness	0.1–1	Sets the sky and haze brightness for daylight or darker stage looks.

Floor

Setting	Available values	What it changes
Reflection	0–0.8	Sets the brightness of the sculpture reflected in the floor. Use Assign modulation to choose a source.
Floor Ripple	0–0.03	Distorts the floor reflection into small ripples. Use Assign modulation to choose a source.
Tile Size	0.3–2	Sets the size of the checkerboard tiles.

Some controls appear only after you enable a related mode or style. The settings panel always reflects the options available for the current selection.

Tips for a better audio visualization

Press Generate New Tree to explore a new arrangement, then keep the Tree Seed to recall it.
Try Crystal Coral, Ember Spires, and Prism Tangle for different shapes and branch structures.
Lower Growth slightly and raise Growth Pulse to make the tips emerge with the music.
Open a reaction control’s audio route to assign a different band or modulation source.
Set Orbit Speed to zero and drag the canvas to compare branch shapes from a held viewpoint.
