Warps an image based off of a field system.
Field Warp
Method #
This node warps an image based off of a field system.
The processed texture above has been altered from default to show the kind of effect you can get with this node. By default, no change will be made to the node until you input a field root system.
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.
Amount
How much the field root affects the image.
Inner Radius
The inner radius of the warp.
Outer Radius
The outer radius of the warp.
Use Velocities
Toggle whether the velocities from the field node are used in the field warp.
The properties control the time at which the node is active. See Timeline for editing time segments.
Parameter Details Duration
Control the duration of the node’s time segment.
- Composition Duration : Use the length of the composition for the node’s time segment duration.
- Custom : Set a custom duration for the node’s time segment.
Node Time
The custom start and end time for the node.
Duration (Timecode)
The length of the node’s time segment (in time).
Duration (Frames)
The length of the node’s time segment (in frames).
Time Segment Enabled
Set whether the node’s time segment is enabled or not in the Timeline.
