AsciiGURU
Transform any image, video, or custom text into a living ASCII composition. Load your own grid image, type text directly, or use the included preset grids and Text-to-Grid tool (linked below the patch) to build your own custom character sets.
Cells dynamically scale with brightness, allowing darker areas to grow up to twice their size for added depth and variation. Combined with dark-to-bold stepping, a brick-style layout, and fixed-kernel brightness sampling, AsciiGURU keeps every frame sharp, structured, and expressive.
Add random 90° rotations, palette blending, and full control over scaling, threshold, and anti-aliasing.
Designed for VJs, motion designers, and digital artists, AsciiGURU turns any visual input into a vibrant, data-driven mosaic of motion and text.
This version only works for Arena 7.23.0 and above.
