Living Strokes- Vrchat AudioLink pack of 4 Shaders (Quest Compatible) - Series 01

Overview --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X3BDlL6pEw

Living Strokes – Series 01 is a curated collection of 4 lightweight, expressive, audio-reactive shaders, inspired by the visual language of OpenBrush / Tilt Brush, but re-engineered, expanded, and art-directed to go much further.

Originally rooted in painted strokes and flowing structures, these shaders extend the core OpenBrush effects into fully controllable, audio-reactive tools that work on any mesh, not just strokes.

The goal is simple: 👉 turn geometry itself into a living musical presence — without visual overload or performance pitfalls.

Each shader has a clear visual role, allowing creators to build rich, immersive scenes using a small, coherent, and performant toolkit.

🎨 Artistic Vision

Living Strokes is not a random FX pack.

It is built around one guiding idea: 👉 make sound feel alive inside geometry, not layered on top of it.

Inspired by the expressive motion of OpenBrush strokes, this collection:

Reuses their visual DNA

Strips away unnecessary complexity

Adds AudioLink-driven motion, glow, hue, and rhythm

Remains VR-comfortable and Quest-friendly

Instead of aggressive flashes or heavy particle systems, Living Strokes prioritizes:

Subtle, organic motion

Readable forms

Musical responsiveness

Strong artistic control

Stable performance in VR

The result works equally well for dreamy ambient worlds and music-driven stages, tunnels, and visualizers.

🧩 What’s Included (4 Shaders) 🌊 PulsePush — Directional Audio-Reactive Mesh Motion

A geometry-driven shader that makes meshes push, bounce, and pulse in a chosen direction, synchronized with music.

Audio-driven directional displacement

Strong sense of rhythm and physical impact

Works on any mesh (walls, floors, tunnels, bridges)

Perfect for: tunnels, stages, structural elements, rhythm-based environments.

⚡ ElecStroke — Electric Energy Stroke Shader

An expressive electric filament shader inspired by OpenBrush electricity strokes, redesigned for stability, control, and AudioLink responsiveness.

Organic electric filaments

Flowing, readable energy

Audio-driven intensity, hue, and motion

Ideal for: mystical energy lines, living structures, magical or sci-fi FX.

🫧 BubbleDrift — Soft Additive Bubble & Stroke Motion

A gentle, hypnotic shader derived from OpenBrush bubble-style effects, enhanced with controlled additive blending and audio-reactive motion.

Smooth floating motion

Hue animation decoupled from brightness

Works on any mesh

Perfect for: ambient worlds, trippy visuals, immersive backgrounds.

🧱 HoloGrid — Holographic Audio-Reactive Grid

A clean, structural shader using world-space grid logic combined with subtle AudioLink response.

World-space grid quantization

Audio-reactive density and glow

Clean holographic aesthetic

Excellent as: a structural visual layer beneath more organic effects.

🎛️ Key Features (Pack-Wide)

Designed exclusively for VRChat

Compatible with PC & Quest

Audio-reactive motion, glow, and color

Lightweight, VR-friendly shaders

Clear artistic roles (motion / energy / ambiance / structure)

Works on primitives, OpenBrush strokes, and custom meshes.

🔊 AudioLink Requirement

AudioLink is required to enable audio-reactive behavior.

Some shaders in this pack rely on AudioLink and require it to be installed in the project. Without AudioLink, shaders may render, but audio-driven motion, glow, and hue will be disabled.
