Hey, just wanted to say thank you for putting this out there for us to use. Its a delight to play with, and I've been using an obscene number of duplicates to make a sound reactive boquet.

If anyone else wants to try making these, I make them as a separate Scene with just the waveforms, and add them into desired scenes as a Scene Source.
My settings for the waveform visualizer source are:
Display ModeCurve
Video Width X Height350 x 350
Log. Mirror. Radial. and Invert check boxesAll enabled
Deadzone0
Radial Arc3 petals=120 degrees 4 petals=90 degrees 5 petals=72 degrees
Simple EMA > Temporal SmoothiingInertia 0.63 with Fast Peaks enabled
Gaussian Filter set to 14.30Low cutoff =0 High cutoff = 17000
Floor -80 dbfs, Cieling -6 dbfs, Slope 3.87Gradient Ratio 0.98

for 4 petal flowers: Center-to-screen > Copy > Duplicate source > Rotate 90 degrees > Duplicate both sources and rotate 180 degrees.
for 3 or 5 petal flowers: Center-to-Screen > Duplicate > hand rotate with Snap to angles turned off > repeat per petal.
To make the center petals a different color, I Group all > Duplicate > Scale down > Center-to-screen > and then Apply a Color Correction filter to the new group.
To make a thin petaled or 6+ petal flower, make a 3 petal flower > Duplicate > Drop its opacity with a color correction filter > and rotate it about 15-30 degrees.
I styled this multicolored 5 petal after a Forget Me Not, but this would also work for a Sakura Blossom, Daisies, or Hibiscus with different color values. You could also Scale>Center>Rotate the Scene Sources to make a multi-layered Lotus, or spread them out on a stem.png to look like a Lily of the Valley!
 
Currently doesn't work on the Metal renderer for OBS, only OpenGL, on macOS Tahoe. I don't really know how much better the Metal renderer is, I can't find any actual objective discussion on it, just a lot of shrugs and PC master race piss-throwing on Reddit. ‍♀️
 
The plugin causes OBS to crash as soon as I add a Waveform source, and I have to restart OBS in safe mode and remove the source for it to work again. I tried the 1.8.1 and 1.9.0 beta, I'm on Windows 11 and OBS 32.0.4.

My bad it's another audio visuualizer plugin that causes the crash, sorry (I don't seem to be able to delete my message?)
