Polar Warp
Updated: 11 Nov 2025
Warp the image using polar coordinates.
Polar Warp
Method #
This node applies a warp to the image by using polar coordinates. The Tiles U/V parameters can be used to make the effect repeat.
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
The amount the effect has on the image.
Centre X
Change the centre X position of the effect.
Centre Y
Change the centre Y position of the effect.
Tiles U
The number of repetitions in u.
Tiles V
The number of repetitions in v.
Texture Wrap Mode U
Select how the effect should apply to the edges of the image.
- Repeat : Effect will attempt to blend with the opposite side, to create a repeating effect.
- Clamp : Effect will complete at the edge, with no attempt to wrap.
- Border With Black : Effect will complete at the edge, then fill the remaining area with black.
- Mirror : Effect will complete at the edge, and then mirror the effect again.
Texture Wrap Mode V
Select how the effect should apply to the edges of the image.
- Repeat : Effect will attempt to blend with the opposite side, to create a repeating effect.
- Clamp : Effect will complete at the edge, with no attempt to wrap.
- Border With Black : Effect will complete at the edge, then fill the remaining area with black.
- Mirror : Effect will complete at the edge, and then mirror the effect again.
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.
