What is A Neon, Glitch-Edged Background for Your Stream?
Cyberpunk Neon is one of Vortexia’s free presets, and it gets its look from two things: a glowing fractal on the Chaos Prime engine, and a built-in RGB split that fringes every edge with separated red, green and blue, the colour-tearing effect cyberpunk visuals lean on. Raise Glitch / RGB Split further for heavier tearing, which also widens on its own with the treble in your music. The bass makes the picture breathe and each kick lands a punch. Be clear on what it is: a moving abstract backdrop, not a scene, so it draws no city skyline, rain or characters, and its colours sweep round the whole wheel about every 20 seconds rather than staying purple. Use it behind your camera and game in OBS, on the free plan.

Frequently asked questions
Is Cyberpunk Neon free?
Yes. It is one of the free presets in the dashboard, built on the Chaos Prime engine, and it works on the free plan at 720p with a small watermark.
Does it show a neon city or rain?
No. Vortexia draws generative fractal patterns, not scenes, so there is no skyline, rain or characters. The cyberpunk feel comes from the glow and the colour fringe.
How do I get more glitch?
Raise Glitch / RGB Split under Post-Processing. The preset already has some on; higher values tear the colours further, and the treble widens it on the fly.
Does it stay purple?
No. Its colours sweep round the whole wheel about every 20 seconds, with Color Shift setting where the sweep starts.
Is it free?
Yes. The free plan streams at 720p and 30fps with a small watermark, three engines and Twitch. Plus removes the watermark, renders at 1080p and 60fps, unlocks all eight engines and adds automatic YouTube and Kick events.
