Droste Warp
Method #
This node applies a Droste function to the image, creating an infinitely warping warp.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
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.
Blend Amount
Changes the opacity of the new effect over the original image.
Blend Mode (RGB)
Change how the generated effect blends with the parent image RGB.
Blend Mode (Alpha)
Change how the generated effect blends with the parent image alpha.
Affected Channels
Toggle which of the RGBA channels are affected by the effect.
Animation Rate
Change the rate at which the sine wave is animated.
Focal Point Offset X
Move the centre point of the droste effect.
Focal Point Offset Y
Move the centre point of the droste effect.
Matrix Coefs X
Pinches and stretches the image inward.
Matrix Coefs Y
Radial twist amount.
Matrix Coefs Z
Shift the radial twist inward and outward.
Matrix Coefs W
Stretch the image around the focal point.
Spiral Multiplier
Multiply the radial twist, so it twists more
Update Time Mode
How the effect updates with relation to the time code.
- Locked To Timecode : The effect is locked to the time code and the same time on the time code will always yield the same image output.
- Running / Looping : The effect is disconnected from the time code and will loop seamlessly at the end of the layer. this also means that animated speed values will change smoothly.
