If you’ve ever spent hours drawing designs with a Spirograph, you know that geometry and mathematical curves can create some truly mesmerising artwork. But in the digital space, it’s hard to recreate those trippy designs — unless you have the right software, of course. Microsoft Paint and Adobe Illustrator just won’t cut it. You’re going to need a subscription to Amberlight 2 if you want to get truly psychedelic digital art.

With Amberlight 2, you can create stunning computer-generated designs and even animations that will broaden your artistic horizons and add some magic to your digital content. Its intuitive and user-friendly interface makes it easy for the magic to just flow out onto the screen in the form of swirls, light trails, glows, otherworldly fractal designs, and so much more. It’s a tool that rewards creativity and discovery with mind-melting artwork that’s truly one of a kind. And just like your Spirograph designs of yesteryear, the secret is in the unique math algorithm.

Like most digital graphics programs, the interface looks a bit daunting at first. But there’s a starter tutorial that will show you the ropes and once you start playing around, the interface becomes extremely intuitive and can even be customised to your liking.

The fast procedural renderer lets you render your creations to images or animations. Use variation and wave modifiers to adjust the look of your scene and experiment with settings. Combine layers with images, photos, and videos with over 50 gradients and presets. You can even create your own presets for future designs as well.

Whether you’re an advanced artist or you just want to relive your artistic glory days as a Spirographer, Amberlight 2 is quickly becoming a digital artistic toolkit standard. It’s received rave reviews from 3D World, Digital Production Magazine, and ImagineFX — and it’s on sale for a total steal.

For a limited time, you can get a lifetime subscription for only £28.85.
