Radial Vortex
This node generates a radial vortex pattern.
Radial Vortex
Method #
This node generates a radial vortex pattern.
Parameters
Parameter Details Position X The objects position along the local x-axis.
Position Y The objects position along the local y-axis.
Position Z The objects position along the local z-axis.
Rotation Heading The objects rotation around the local y-axis.
Rotation Pitch The objects rotation around the local x-axis.
Rotation Bank The objects rotation around the local z-axis.
Scale X The objects scale along the local x-axis.
Scale Y The objects scale along the local y-axis.
Scale Z The objects scale along the local z-axis.
Control the inheritance of the transforms from the parent.
Parameter Details Active Enables or disables the effect. Disabling the effect means it will no longer compute, so disabling a node when not in use can improve performance.
Preview In Viewport Preview the generated image as an overlay in the viewport.
- Off : No preview is generated.
- RGBA : Preview the image blended with alpha in the viewport.
- RGB : Preview the colour channels in the viewport.
- Alpha : Preview the alpha channel in the viewport.
- PIP : Preview the image blended with alpha in the viewport, in a smaller picture in picture display, on top of the existing content.
Width The resolution of the generated image horizontally.
Height The resolution of the generated image vertically.
Update Time Mode How the generator updates with relation to the timecode.
- Locked To Timecode : The generator animations are locked to the timecode and the same time will always yield the same result.
- Running / Loopable : The generator animations are disconnected from the timecode and will loop seamlessly at the end of the layer.
Amplitude The amplitude of the vortex.
Frequency The frequency of the vortex.
Stripes The number of stripes to use in the vortex.
Animation Speed Control the speed at which the vortex is animated.
Use Sharp Edges Optionally use hard edges for the stripes in the vortex.
Parameter Details Colour Add a colour filter over the image.
Blend Amount The amount the generated image blends with the project, depending on the compositing mode chosen.
Blend Mode Choose how the image blends with the scene. See Blend Modes for details.
