About

Pendulum Paint

Features
Read full description

Turn motion into art. Pendulum Paint transforms harmonic physics into luminous, evolving compositions. A suspended paint bucket swings through layered pendulum motion, tracing Lissajous curves, orbital ribbons, splatters, and falling drips across a deep studio canvas. Start with a curated motion preset or shape the result yourself. Tune frequency ratio, damping, detuning, paint flow, splatter, trail fade, and glow while the artwork develops in real time. Features: - Physics-driven harmonograph motion - Five distinct motion presets - Rainbow, cyber, solar, and aurora color palettes - Live controls for rhythm, decay, flow, splatter, trails, and bloom - Randomized variations for new compositions - Pause, clear, and restart at any time - Export and share finished artwork as a PNG - Responsive layouts for phones, tablets, and desktop browsers - No accounts, ads, analytics, or tracking Every composition is generated locally on your device. Explore the balance between order and chaos, then save the moment when it feels right.
