Category Generative
Package shaders/balatro-swirl/

Balatro Swirl is an animated painterly generative background adapted from a Shadertoy reference. It can run as a full generated field or blend with incoming video.

Controls

Control Type Default What It Does
Spin Rotation float -2 Base rotation applied to the swirl field.
Spin Speed float 7 Animation speed.
Spin Amount float 0.25 Radial twisting strength.
Spin Ease float 1 Changes how twist falls off from center.
Contrast float 3.5 Separation between dark and bright areas.
Lighting float 0.4 Highlight/shadow modulation.
Offset vec2 [0, 0] Moves the generated field.
Colour 1 color Warm red Primary swirl color.
Colour 2 color Cool blue Secondary swirl color.
Colour 3 color Dark base Background/base color.
Rotate Field bool Off Rotates the whole generated field over time.
Source Mix float 0 Blends the generated field with incoming video.

Tips

  • Keep Source Mix at 0 for a pure generated background.
  • Raise Source Mix when using it as a stylizing layer over video.
  • Reduce Spin Speed to make the look calmer for long-running screens.
