It's AI-generated (Claude). For now, it's only available for Windows, but it's coming soon to macOS, says PixelNCodes.

I have tested if the plugin also builds and works under Linux as it is implemented with JUCE which should provide the necessary platform abstractions.
The plugin builds and the GUI also shows in Bitwig. I got some sound out of it but the plugin crashes deterministically after a few seconds of usage. I was not able to test the image file selection either. A KDE file dialog opened (I guess this abstraction is handled by JUCE as well) but then the plugin crashed again.
It seems that with some additional polish it might even be usable under Linux though.
One such necessary change would be to change the installation folder to something else than "C:/Program Files/Common Files/VST3" when building for Linux. It currently results in the folder "build/C\:/Program\ Files/Common\ Files/VST3/" being created where the build artifacts can then be found.
